One of the most common questions I receive from people is how much iodine they should be eating on a daily basis. The short answer is that it’s better for people to eat eggs every day, as long as they don’t have any thyroid problems. If you do have a thyroid issue, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
What is Iodine?
Iodine is a mineral that is found in the soil and in sea water. When animals eat iodine, they convert it to iodide. Iodine is found in eggs, dairy products, fish, and seafood. Iodine is necessary for the proper development of the brain and thyroid gland. It also helps prevent hyperactivity. The US Food and Drug Administration states that there is no known safe and unsafe level of iodine in adults. Some experts recommend that adults take 200 micrograms of iodine daily. The amount of iodine in one egg is around 50 micrograms.
How To Get More Iodine
People typically get more than enough iodine through their diet. Our bodies create about 20-25 micrograms of iodine a day. That’s less than the recommended daily allowance of 150 micrograms. So getting enough iodine in our diet is pretty easy.
How To Keep Iodine
If you’re concerned about iodine, eggs are a great source of this mineral. But not all eggs are created equal. In fact, there’s quite a wide range of iodine content among eggs. According to the US Food and Drug Administration, the maximum iodine level allowed in eggs is 330 mcg per 100 grams. However, many eggs have as little as 60 mcg. Eggs with levels of 20 mcg or less are considered low-iodine eggs. Some experts suggest that people consume at least 200 to 300 mcg of iodine daily. Most commonly, people are given iodine in tablet form. However, some people may have difficulty taking pills. So, here’s what you should know about iodine and eggs.
The History of Iodine
Iodine is an element that can be found in seawater. In small amounts, it is not harmful to humans, but in higher amounts it can cause problems. In the early 19th century, farmers began using iodine to control the amount of iodine in the water they used to raise chickens. The farmers noticed that when they used iodine, the chickens were healthier and their eggs were more likely to hatch. This practice became known as “iodized” and the period is now known as the “iodine era.”
Is Iodine Toxic?
Iodine is an essential mineral. It helps the body convert food into energy. Iodine also helps maintain the thyroid. The thyroid is the main gland that regulates the production of thyroid hormones. Some of these hormones regulate the metabolism, reproduction, growth, and development. The thyroid hormones have many functions, but when the thyroid is not functioning properly, it can cause problems in the body. For example, hypothyroidism can cause skin rashes, diarrhea, weight gain, and low energy levels. Some studies have linked iodine to thyroid cancers. Therefore, it is important to consume a sufficient amount of iodine. The daily recommended intake is 75 mcg of iodine for adults and children ages 4-8. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to get enough iodine in your diet because iodine is found in only a few foods, including table salt, sea salt, kelp, and seafood.
