Potassium Iodide?

How many thousand miles are we away from Japan?

Many...

And yet, people here are snatching up potassium iodide to protect their thyroids from radiation exposure...

I'm wondering if these are the same people who carefully consider whether its prudent to get more diagnositic x-rays and CT scans...because they will be exposed to much more radiation in pursuit of better health than they ever will from a Japanese nuclear reactor meltdown.

Look it up! We are in no danger of ill effects from Fukushima's disaster...IF, and that's a big one, any radiation from over there came over here, it would be a minute increase in the radiation (the naturally occurring background kind) that we are exposed to every day.

Don't panic...and send your potassium iodide to Japan, where they really need it.

  1. So true, Jessi said she couldn't find any kale the other night for a recipe she wanted to make. The store managers said people were buying it all up because it has lots of iodine in it...give me a break!
