Shomon lists iodine as a risk for Autoimmune Conditions

[Guest guest]

I cut and pasted below from Shoman's recent quiz on Autoimmune

risk. I really can't imagine why she would include iodine on this

list. Perhaps she is more anti-iodine than I realized, but there is no

further explanation that I could find. Sharon
