Iodine in Seaweed May Help Benign Breast Disease


A Pennsylvania doctor, who noticed that low iodine areas in the US have high rates of breast cancer, prescribed iodine for 588 women with painful, lumpy breast, indicating a higher long term risk of breast cancer.
Over a year, 9 out of 10 women had good to excellent results, and 43% felt complete relief from their symptoms.

Caution: Large amount of  iodine eaten long term, for example more than 1,000 mcg a day - may interfere with thyroid function.

High in sodium, seaweed is best eaten as a flavoring, not in large amount.
