Iodine can be a life saver. What?
Martha Grout, MD, and Donald Miller, MD, explain “There is growing evidence that Americans would have better health and a lower incidence of cancer and fibrocystic disease of the breast if they consumed more iodine. A decrease in iodine intake coupled with an increased consumption of fluoride and bromide (in most flour), has created an epidemic of iodine deficiency in America.
So? People in the U.S. consume an average 240 micrograms (µg) of iodine a day. Japanese consume 50x more. US rate of breast cancer is the highest in the world– Japan one of the lowest. Life expectancy in US: 77.85 years. In Japan? 81.25 years in Japan, the highest of all industrialized countries.
So, what is the meaning of this?
