Hi Janet,

Thank you!

My wife has been doing that. You get the poisonous (to me)
stuff like potatoes and bananas. Chards are great for iodine.

The thing about produce is that minerals exist in produce
if they existed in the soil first. Now the organic compost I
purchase for my garden has minerals added (they will give
you a list, if you ask), but who knows what you are getting
from the grocery store.

Sea water, on the other hand is pretty homogeneous. Plus
fish tastes great, once you lick it.

So, I thought I would ask real folks how they got their iodine.
