The only way of assuring iodine is with supplementation. At this point we are unsure about any mineral status in our food system with our depleted soils and farming operations sea/land. I can't imagine how many people on here are supplementing thyroid hormones, when they have virtually no 'assured' source of iodine. They believe they are getting some from milk, yogurt, liver, possibly seafood which many people on here may not follow due to quality, heavy metals, price, not able to find oysters without pufa oil etc, or the price of caviar.
The purpose of the low salt agenda, targeted iodine and completely destroyed the belief that one needs iodine. Iodine is more important than salt rather. There is no thyroid recycling/retention system like there is with salt.
Nose to Tail eating will suffice in iodine, as the minerals travel up the ecosystem and also deposit in various tissues
{ Extra-thyroidal iodine exists in several other organs, including the mammary glands, eyes, gastric mucosa, cervix, cerebrospinal fluid, arterial walls, ovary and salivary glands . In the cells of these tissues the iodide ion (I−) enters directly by the sodium-iodide symporter (NIS). }
Also mineral rich aquifers. This addresses the healthiest cultures we have seen to date. French/German/Slavic/Russian/Japanese/ Certain Asian cultures.
If you are taking thyroid hormones, and wondering what's going on, and you are not assuring a source of iodine, then it really is one step forward, 2 steps backwards.
Remember we also have no insulation mechanisms, I can only imagine how much seaweed broth/stews/organs were eaten by the innuit/eskimos to assure higher body temperatures.
