So you've posted that stupid green text here 20 times and now you're an expert on iodine deficiency. You know which supplemental iodine sources cut it and which don't. You know fluoride and boron compete for uptake. You know all the ways not getting enough iodine is fucking us up.

Ok.

How do you know if your iodine supplementation has actually succeeded in raising your levels to the ideal range? Does it go beyond just "I feel better"? Is anyone actually getting lab work done? And, if so, what labs?

I just have to know if I'm getting enough iodine.

Don’t supplement. Eat lots of red meat and seafood. Dont eat brassicas or almonds and avoid fluoridated water.

Just eat sea weed. Nori is good on rice.

Rice is for peasants. There’s a reason the Mongols beat the Chinese civilization. Fresh beef actually has a surprising amount of iodine. A few clams or sardines a week will cover it as well. Most nutritional deficiencies in history were from people eating plants and not meat. The ONLY sea vegetable I suggest to EVER eat as a chef, geographer and avid fisherman who knows how polluted the oceans are and Asian sourcing really works, should come from Maine. There’s a specific brand that should be easy to find online. Plus it supports American fisherman and sustaining some of the best ocean America controls. A lot of nori sheets used in sushi comes from polluted water which may even be radioactive. But no matter how much idodine you ingest, fluoridated water will hijack you anyways.

I have a geiger counter and several brands of Nori. Their radiation level is not higher than the background level of radiation where I live.

Brassicas are so healthful, though. Is it really worth avoiding them? Plus... No cabbage? Why even live then?

Cabbage... Found the Russian.

Ferment the cabbage first. Fermented cabbage is gtg.

I like it that way best.

Brassicas literally are bad for your thyroid. Look it up. Brassicas and almonds literally poison your thyroid. Not making this up.

I will look it up, but let the record show I'm dubious.

It’s not healthy. More like it’s not that unhealthy. If you look at nutritional density by the numbers in actual data tables of all foods….red meat is almost all you need. Eggs. Shellfish or small oily fish. Plants are nothing compared to animals foods. Like nothing. Most humans that ever lived in time never ate cabbage and were far healthier and fit specimens. There’s a reason Northern Europeans and Central Asians average heights and IQs are larger than most of the planet. Agriculture came much later to them. All that crap we hear is mostly marketing and propaganda. Throughout most of history urbanized people could not reliably get meat into cities until the last hundred years so people became riddled with disease living shorter biological lives living off plants.
