Hello and question

[Federica]

Hello again, I haven't been around for a while because of health problems.
Anyway!How are the ladies doing?



I'm about to ask a question (I wasn't sure about the section in which I should have posted it!) that can't be properly regarded as a "MISC" question.

I bought some patches and body creams whose main ingredient is IODINE.

Is it really THAT bad?
I've been reading and surfing the web to find information, Italian scientists panic a lot about that.

Iodine is bad for you if you get too much. It really depends on how much is in your system already. I am currently on iodine tablets b/c my levels were way too low. You'd have to go the doctor and get a test run to see where your at. As far as a cream goes, I don't even know if you'd absorb enough to do any damage.

Here's a link about what I take. It also gives some information on iodine in general.

I am supposed to take an iodine supp but they make me queazy. I'm a vegetarian, so it's kinda hard for me to get enough.
