Re: iodine content question

How can one become allergic to Iodine? It is needed for life!

No Iodine in coconut meat that I know of. USDA food database does

not indicate Iodine in any quantity. So none in oil or flour either.

From http://www.tis-gdv.de/tis_e/ware/oele/kokosoel/kokosoel.htm:

" With an iodine value of 7 - 10, coconut oil is a nondrying oil . . . "

Another site explains, " The iodine number of a fat is the number of grams of

iodine that will be consumed by 100g of fat or oil. "

Iodine number is a measure of the degree of saturation of an oil. It has

nothing to do with iodine content. Coconut oil contains no iodine.

I wish I knew how someone gets allergic to a mineral necessary for

life. I've been allergic to iodine for 20 years though, in all forms,

topical or ingested. Iodine, betadine, povidone, crospovidone, and any

and all iodine containing ingredients such as carrageenan, algin, etc.

I also must be careful to limit consumption of high iodine foods like

eggs, milk, beef, broccoli, asparagus and other high iodine veg. This

is in addition to the obvious like seafood, shellfish, and so on.

No doctor has ever been able to tell me the consequences of avoiding

iodine, either. Though one allergist did tell me I'm NOT successfully

avoiding iodine because in 20 years, I have not developed a goiter. I

do have to take antihistamines on a nearly daily basis.

Unfortunately the USDA database does not list iodine content for any

foods. So not seeing iodine listed for coconut there doesn't mean

anything.

thanks anyway,

sol

But...........does iodine value have anything to do with how much

iodine is IN the oil? And if you know what " the number of grams of

iodine that will be 'consumed' by 100g of fat or oil " means, you are

way ahead of me.

I don't know what it means at all. I did see " iodine value " defined

another way a couple of places, but I couldn't understand what those

meant either.

thanks anyway,

Yeah, I've heard that before......but I've been reacting to iodine in

any and all forms for 20 years, so I think that statement is total

garbage. Even if true, it doesn't stop me having allergic reactions to

everything iodine containing so it doesn't help me.

hey cat,

read this link

http://vegburner.co.uk/oils.htm

you will know why it is called iodine number/value. It is a measure of iodine

dissolution in an oil, in general more the unsaturated fat the more it dissolves

iodine.

my guess is that probably high iodine number of oil leads to inability to

retain iodine in the body and the reason why polyunsaturated cause

hypothyroidism, Also this link shows that more the iodine value, the more an oil

forms plastic like substance on oxidation.
