Evidently you havn't been reading the articles that have been posted about Iodine supplements.
I can give you a first hand account--Dr. David Brownstein is my doctor, he prescribed Iodoral for me and I had been taking the supplement for about 5 years, 12.5 mg. every day. Last December I started getting hives on my face, I couldn't figure out what was causing it, I didn't think about the Iodoral as I had been taking it for so long.
I stopped taking this food, that supplement and some face creams to no avail, the hives kept coming. I believe it was in jan. or feb. that Jackie wrote an article about Iodine supplements. I quit taking the Iodoral in Feb. and the hives stopped. I also had been very itchy, I thought it was the dry heat causing it, that too stopped, I had been getting a few seconds of dizziness when first laying down or sometimes when bending down and straightening up, that too has stopped.
I take synthroid for my thyroid and with the iodoral my thyroid hormones were fine, however, hives, itchiness and dizziness are not worth it. I don't know if you posted this article with tongue in cheek or if you believe it, but I say it is full of sxxt.
