994. A Day in the Life: What’s It Really Like to Be a Chemical Engineer and Nutritionist?

“Even individuals who eat what I would call an optimum diet–no junk food and a balance of organic fruits, vegetables, and some organic seafood or meat–even these folks have significant deficiencies in magnesium, potassium and iodine. To focus on iodine for a minute, it is a vital mineral that helps you in smog congested cities or when you are around second-hand smoke. Remember too that our world is 900 times more toxic than it has ever been! Even super-healthy people are iodine deficient. Japan is overall the healthiest country in the world and per capita they consume the most iodine per day–up to 12 milligrams of iodine via the seafood they eat along with the brown algae seaweed such as kelp, kombu and wakame. I recommend that Americans consume on average 3 to 5 milligrams of iodine a day by way of organic supplements or fish, seafood, seaweed and eggs.”
