I noticed this morning that the soy sauce I use says "with kelp", which is a very good source of iodine. I buy it at my local Korean Market, and its made/sold by Assi. Hope this helps anyone looking to increase their iodine intake and not have to give up their soy sauce. =)Melissanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11497809.post-89421035819625240012011-10-26T05:26:53.964-06:002011-10-26T05:26:53.964-06:00This is so enlightening.

Himalayan rock salt has health benefits because it's pure and has the other minerals that our bodies need but it has no iodine in it. Perhaps you try to search for info. on the web. on the brand of rock salt that you are using and see what is Na+ and CI-ions.Little Corner of Minehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09722570387776029291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11497809.post-56562589875566175322011-10-18T03:34:40.816-06:002011-10-18T03:34:40.816-06:00LCOM, Thank you for sharing this info.

In your case it would be the averse effect for sure, hope you are taking the medicine and your hyperthyroidism is under control. :)Little Corner of Minehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09722570387776029291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11497809.post-14812205649241373042011-10-13T11:05:26.045-06:002011-10-13T11:05:26.045-06:00Hi, a good GP or gyny will always incl thyroid tes...Hi, a good GP or gyny will always incl thyroid test for normal blood test. It is an essential test especially for women, regardless age. Not everybody can consume iodized salt as it could trigger hyperthyroidism if one of your family members has this problem. Those who live near the coastline usually do not suffer iodine deficiency due to the diet. I am a Malaysian living in Germany and mine is overactive rather than underactive and the popular iodized salt usage over here can only do me harm. Thyroid underactive is not that serious as overactive unless one intends to get pregnant.

Yes, spread the word. :)<br /><br />Thanks Angel. :)<br /><br />Yes Homemaker, iodine is very important in our body function, don't leave it out.<br /><br />Sandrine, I can totally understand you. My hubby asked me last year as well and he even mentioned this table salt is iodized and I brushed him off too. I didn't realize the importance of it then. ;)<br /><br />Daphne, my family doc. seem to close the case on me, her assistant called and said the results are normal and that's it. But I will get it check when I having my lipid and glucose tests again. Or I'm starting to feel the symptoms again.<br /><br />Thanks Janine.<br /><br />Nava, please check to see if your organic salt is iodized since you use so little salt to begin with. I paid higher price for kosher and sea salts too and look what it got me. :P I was raised to use salt sparingly as well as my mom has high blood pressure and sometimes my hubby complaint it's not salty enough. But he can always salt it on his own plate.<br /><br />Tigerfish, do you need to wear jacket when others are fine? Or losing hair? Read through the symptoms and see whether other symptoms apply to you.<br /><br />Thanks Kay. I still want to get it check every year though just to be sure. :)Little Corner of Minehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09722570387776029291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11497809.post-5870849601546968382011-10-13T09:30:11.353-06:002011-10-13T09:30:11.353-06:00Glad that things are back to normal for you now.

I too have switched to a higher grading of salt, organic though I pay slightly a bit more but suppose its worth spending on it then on doctor's bills.Nava Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810750409368110054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11497809.post-1975501048656782302011-10-12T19:07:08.849-06:002011-10-12T19:07:08.849-06:00I'm glad you're better now and that you ma...I'm glad you're better now and that you managed to diagnose yourself so quickly!

I am an addict to the Food Network & Cooking Channel shows, and I have switch to kosher salt as well. 6 months ago my hubby was asking me, are you sure we shouldn't get any table salt(iodined salt)? I just brushed it off, kosher salt is fine baby. <br /><br />I will definitely go get the iodined salt now when I go grocery shopping tonight and switch between both.sandrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073052302947443741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11497809.post-17865598812497108852011-10-12T11:04:10.441-06:002011-10-12T11:04:10.441-06:00Thanks for sharing.
