According to Dr. Andrew Weil, «We can get iodine naturally by eating saltwater fish and seafood, kelp and
other sea vegetables as well as vegetables grown in soils that contain iodine.
The idea that seaweed, kelp, and
other sea vegetables are rich in iodine and therefore must be healthy for your thyroid has led many to label iodine - rich foods like seaweed as super-foods.
And while spirulina and
other sea vegetables are a staple in Japanese diets, they're virtually non-existent in our American diets.
Kelp and
other sea vegetables are the highest available source of plant iodine.
Foods that contain iodine include dulse seaweed and
other sea vegetables and deep sea fish such as cod and haddock.
