Mercola/Strong Sista and Alan Christianson on excess Iodine
-
The summary of this video is:
Iodine is actually in excess if a nutritious diet like the Peat diet is followed.
It made sense to me as I remember reading a paper on the Weston Price foundation on Iodine intake of our ancestors, depending on the area, but the average intake of our ancestors was about 100 mcg or so per day, so not that different from the Alan Christianson recommendations.
I'm just not quiet sure about his take on optimal body temp, Ashely is not either.

Good video. Coincidentally, I just found out about this iodine thing recently too. I posted my experience and a bunch of studies about it in this thread: https://bioenergetic.forum/topic/3760/bloodwork-shows-elevated-tpoab-hashimoto-s-disease
For the record, iodine is in excess on a Peaty diet, only because modern cows and chickens get iodine supplements which make the milk and eggs too high in iodine. It wouldn't be a problem naturally.

that is exactly what they say in the video.
I was concerned about my Iodine intake since I do not drink milk regularly, but it looks like I'll be just fine
