Her iodine levels were tested by her dr. with a blood test. I was

totally shocked, because I thought, like so many do, that we don't

have iodine deficiency in this country. Especially because she does

eat salt and bread and those things that are fortified with iodine.

Evidently, she has a greater need for it than average. Dixie
