Why You Should Assure An Adequate Iodine Intake | Dietary Supplements

Iodine is most known for its relationship to the production of thyroid hormones. Not well known is that iodine also functions as a key antioxidant that protects cell membrane fatty acids from free radical attack. This is important for all cell membranes, however, in the context of disease risk, it is especially important for protection against breast cancer and prostate cancer (1,2).



The Japanese population consumes between 1000-3000 micrograms (mcg) per day (1), which is derived largely from seaweed and less from fish. It turns out that seaweed and fish are natural sources of both omega-3 fatty acids and iodine, which is one of the reasons why a traditional Japanese diet is so healthy and associated with minimal disease risk. Iodine naturally complexes with cell membrane fatty acids to create what is called an iodolipid, which is resistant to free radical attack compared to fatty acids without iodine (2).



In the United States, the upper limit recommendation for iodine is only 1100 mcg per day, with most Americans taking in between 135-340 mcg per day. The 1000-3000 mcg level consumed by the Japanese is a clear sign that people can tolerate more than 1100 mcg without concerns. This amount of iodine is likely to be problematic for only people with hypothyroidism caused by Hashimoto’s disease (1). Be aware that some people with Hashimoto’s cannot tolerate any iodine supplementation.



The National Institutes of Health has an Office of Dietary Supplements that published a Fact Sheet about iodine (3). It describes a study wherein researchers randomly assigned 111 women (18–50 years of age) with fibrosis and a history of breast pain to receive tablets containing 0 mcg, 1,500 mcg, 3,000 mcg, or 6,000 mcg of iodine per day. After 5 months of treatment, women receiving doses of 3,000 or 6,000 mcg iodine had a significant decrease in breast pain, tenderness, and nodularity compared with those receiving placebo or 1,500 mcg iodine. The researchers also reported a dose-dependent reduction in self-assessed pain. None of the doses was associated with major adverse events or changes in thyroid function test results. As the upper limit in the United States is only 1100 mcg, this NIH Fact Sheet recommends that doses of 1,500-6000 mcg per day should only be used under the guidance of a physician (3).



Fish oil supplements do not contain iodine because the distillation process that concentrates and purifies the oil serves to eliminate pollutants, heavy metals like mercury, and iodine. Taking supplemental iodine appears to be a good choice for most people, especially for those who take supplemental fish oil.

Impulse Control: For Overeating And Other Vices

Everyone knows that a lack of impulse control is why people overeat and indulge in other unhealthy vices. The problem for most people is that they do not understand the nature of the pleasure-driving impulses…that is, where the impulses come from and how to modulate their power, so the impulses are less compelling. Instead, most people “feel” and “believe” that they “are” the impulses and so rather than fighting the impulses, most indulge.

The especially difficult challenge with food is that we need it to survive. That is, we cannot live without food. In contrast, one can live without infidelity, drugs, over-drinking, and gambling, which is why most people are able to avoid these vices. Food is more problematic because we need it to survive and now in the modern day, an excess amount of calories are everywhere we go in our “obesogenic” environment, so it is not surprising that most people are overweight or obese.

To over come eating and other vices, we need to understand the nature of the pleasure-seeking system that is hard-wired into the human nervous system. It is called the mesolimbic dopamine reward pathway. 

See the video associated with the blog article "Impulse Control: For Overeating And Other Vices", it will illustrates the pathway in your brain so you can picture it in your mind when the impulse to eat kicks in. 

The reward pathway and what to do about it is also described in my new book entitled Weight Loss Secrets You Need To Know.

Calories Matter – If You Want To Avoid Obesity | Health Promotion consultants

In recent years, many people have been convinced that counting calories is not necessary if you want to lose weight and then manage your weight properly. I do not understand this view; it is, in fact, quite foolish.

Calories in food come from three macronutrients, which include carbohydrate, protein, and fat. We get about 4 calories for every gram of carbohydrate and protein we consume. In contrast, we get about 9 calories for every gram of fat consumed. You can witness this math in action on the label of any packaged food. The total calories are provided based on grams of carbohydrate, protein, and fat contained in a serving size.

Whenever we exceed our caloric needs, the body stores the excess calories as fat in specialized cells called adipocytes, which are more commonly known as fat cells. There is an odd misconception that it is primarily dietary fat that stored in fat cells; which is COMPLETELY incorrect. If you were to eat a low carbohydrate and low protein diet, the primary calorie source would be fat. And if this diet contained just 1500 calories per day, you would lose body fat mass, and perhaps develop 6-pack abs, despite the fact that 1000 calories per day might come from fat, which is clearly a high-fat diet. So, clearly, consuming a mostly fat diet in this low calorie context, would lead to weight loss, not weight gain.
