Re: Safe forms of Iodine?
Great post, Brimstone. However, I don't think 1/3 of a teaspoon is anything I need to worry about.
How to become vegan in 4.5 hours:
1.Watch Forks over Knives (Health)
2.Watch Cowspiracy (Environment)
3. Watch Earthlings (Ethics)
Congratulations, unless you are a complete idiot you are now a vegan.

Re: Safe forms of Iodine?
I haven't used iodized salt since going vegan, instead I'm relying on sea vegetables for iodine. Generally either a few grams of dried wakame flakes or about 20 grams of fresh nori every day. The higher concentration of iodine in dried seaweed plus the fact wakame generally contains more wakame than nori means I don't eat much of it so I don't reach the toletable upper limit.
Do you think that's adequate? I eat sea vegetables at dinner, because I take my B12 supplement during the morning and I believe sea vegetables can somewhat inhibit B12 absorption. Maybe could I add a little bit of iodized salt during my lunch to be sure? The tolerable upper limit for iodine is more than 7 times the minimal requirement, so maybe adding a little more won't hurt. Also I wonder whether the precautions I take to not overdose dried wakame flakes are a bit too conservative.

Appeal to nature: the strange belief that what is perceived as "natural" is necessarily safer, more effective or morally superior compared to what isn't.

A lot of the sea vegetables have lead, plus kelp has arsenic.Cirion Spellbinder wrote: ↑Wed Mar 07, 2018 7:49 pm For reference, what foods containing iodine contain a considerable amount of lead?

I moved iodine up, since a lot of countries have problems with it and a lot of vegans are silly and won't eat iodized salt.Jamie in Chile wrote: ↑Fri Mar 09, 2018 7:17 pm "What would you say are the top 5? I'd message you but i'm too new a member."
