[Attachment(s) from ladybugsandbees included below] And another issue is that not all of us have good detoxification pathways. Phase I and Phase II issues are common and if you have the MTHFR gene defect you will not detox easily w/o intervention from outside "products" or what I call "plug in's" to the methylation cycle. I have attached the methylation chart for those who are new to this.

Re: bromine in bread

For what it's worth,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_bromateAlso, some crude numbers;Assume the same amount of bromine from bread as iodine, 726 ug (0.726 mg) ingested per dayconsumed over a 30 year (1980 to 2010) periodgives a total consumption of bromine as 7,950 mg (.726 *365*30)Given a daily urinary excretion on using Lugol's of 66 mg/Lassume only 1 liter of urine excreted per dayover 2 yearstotal bromine excreted is 48,180 mgPlease correct me if I am wrong, or unreasonable in my worst case scenario estimates. If 's lab work is valid (66 mg/l), then in two years, 6 times as much bromine will have been excreted in urine alone as may have been consumed (and assumed to have retained all) from baked goods in 30 years.To further add to this;we have been quoted a baseline urine excretion of 24 mg/l,again assuming 1 liter urine excretion per day,in only 10 years that gives 87,600 mg excreted.That is 11 times (87,600/7,950)the total intake, over a 30 year period, from baked goods. Am I the only one on these lists seeking fact, not hearsay and out right untruths. MikeMP.S. I have issued a challenge on the OT sight to all to assist me in determine what are reasonable assumptions about total intake and total body of of toxins. I have yet to receive a response.>> How does one know if bromine is added? Is it in the ingredients? My mom looked at her bread package and said it didn't have but I'm questioning that.> > Thanks,> Joan>
