Re: Ingesting Iodine Dangerous as KI Substitute...

Shane,



You are right tincture of iodine is poisonous.  Several other aspects are to be considered, the low mortality of primary thyroid cancers and the amendability of such cancers to treatment and the natural prevelance of contained thyroid cancers and precancerous nodules.  The question should be how necessary are iodine pills and treatments. 



The public is being fooled into considering iodine as the magic pill to prevent radiation damage; not so.
