Let's talk about the eight unexpected benefits of iodine.

Now, iodine is this trace mineral.

Now, you don't need a lot of it, but you definitely need the right amount.

And if you don't have the right amount, all sorts of things can happen in your body,

simply because every single cell in the entire body needs iodine, not just the thyroid.

Now, your thyroid is the iodine hog.

It'll tend to suck up a lot of the iodine you have and not leave much for anything else.

So just because your thyroid is working and you don't have any thyroid symptoms,

doesn't mean you have ample amounts of iodine.

So it's not just about having adequate amounts of iodine.

It's about having enough for all of your cells.

And unfortunately, the current RDAs for iodine are way too low.

It's recommended that we need about 150 micrograms per day,

but people in Japan, which have very low rates of breast cancer,

ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, are consuming 100 times that amount.

But it's mainly from sea kelp, because sea kelp is one of the best sources of iodine.

A lot of people are deficient in iodine.

And unfortunately, it's just not in our foods anymore.

Unless you're consuming foods from the ocean, like shellfish or sea kelp,

like seaweed, etc.

Now, there's a really simple way to determine if you're deficient in iodine.

Simply go to your local drugstore and get a little bottle of iodine and some cotton balls.
