Got Iodine Salt In That Milk? Unassuming Sources Of Acne Aggravate.

Iodine is a trace mineral that regulates thyroid hormones while promoting normal growth and development. It is present in iodized salt, seafood and crops grown in iodine rich soil.

So youve read that excessive amounts of iodine can irritate your pores and provoke acne. So what do you do? Avoid excess iodine, right?

But iodine shows up in a motley of unassuming locals as Jean Carper, points out in Food Your Miracle Medicine. For instance, the Recommended Daily Allowance, RDA, of iodine for adults is 150 mcg, but one cup of milk has 88mcg of iodine, thats over half of the RDA. One egg has 24 mcg and a slice of American cheese carries 16 mcg of iodine. And the content of iodine in some fast food meals has exceeded the RDA by as much as 10 times.

Just because excess iodine may provoke acne does not mean you want to ex it out our your diet. Poor iodine intake can result in Goiter, an enlargement of the thyroid gland, and Cretinism, which causes dwarfism and mental retardation

Foods that contain large amounts of iodine include:

Iodized salt, sea salt, and salty foods. Because it's hard to know which restaurants use iodized salt, you might want to avoid eating out during this time
All dairy products (milk, sour cream, cheese, cream, yogurt, butter, ice cream)
Margarine
Egg yolks
Seafood (fish, shellfish, seaweed, kelp)
Foods that contain carrageen, agar-agar, algin, or alginate - all of these are made from seaweed
Many prepared and/or cured meats (ham, bacon, sausage, corned beef, etc)
Fresh chicken or turkey with broth or additives injected
Dried fruit
Canned vegetables
Commercial bakery products
Chocolate
Molasses
Soy products (soy sauce, soy milk, tofu)
Any vitamins or supplements that contain iodine
FD&C red dye #3 - this appears in many foods or pills that are red or brown, including colas

Foods with moderate amounts of iodine include:
Egg whites
Fresh noncured meat from the butcher
Matzoh
Homemade bread made with non-iodized salt and oil (not soy!) instead of butter or milk
Most fresh fruits and vegetables (but not too much spinach & broccoli), washed well
Frozen vegetables that don't have high-iodine ingredients (like regular salt) added
Canned peaches, pears and pineapples
Natural unsalted peanut butter
Clear sodas
Coffee or tea, as long as it's made with distilled water. But remember, only non-dairy creamer!
Popcorn popped in vegetable oil or air popped, with non-iodized salt
Sorbet - but remember to check the ingredient list for FD&C red dye #3!

As with all things, self-knowledge and moderation are the keys to divine health. Its always good to know what you are eating before it starts eating away at you.
