There is such a thing as iodine overdose.
A friend, who puts seaweed in her daily smoothy, took some magnascent
iodine to protect her thyroid...
A practitioner helped her pinpoint that her dizzy spell was iodine overload

Some say that Iodine is like vitamin D, commonly deficient.
Iodine is important for every function within the body.
Too much fish puts one at risk for too much mercury in the system.
Seaweed is more likely a source for iodine, I believe.
Some say that by making sure that the body has enough iodine, will prevent
the thyroid from taking up with similar but radioactive components.
It’s pretty amazing what a difference iodine can make. It can also
allay the hunger for meat, according to Dave. (as has also been credited
to a certain variant of sea kelp.)

I became aware of the importance of iodine for thyroid health when looking for info on tofu and how safe it is to consume regularly at it is reputed to affect the thyroid. Decided not to worry about that but still am curious about getting enough iodine in my diet. I suppose multivitamins may contain traces of it but don't know. Anyway, eating plenty of fish and seaweed should keep iodine levels topped up I would assume. I am getting used to to Japanese macrobiotic cooking and eating far less meat than before other than fish, dried or canned. As for iodine for radiation protecttion, I am not knowledgeable about that but I do know that miso will purge the body of radiation.
