Iodine in Seafood
Here in Louisiana we eat lots of boiled seafood consisting of shrimp, crabs and crawfish.... Can you have too much iodine in your diet and if so how much is too much???

iodine info
The RDA for iodine is 150 mcg. Ingestion of up to 20 times the RDA has no known side effects. Side effects of 30 times the RDA may include mouth sores, metallic taste, swollen salivary glands, diarrhea, vomiting, headache, rash, and breathing difficulties. An iodine deficiency is characterized by an enlarged thyroid gland (goiter), low thyroid hormone level and hypothyroidism. Other symptoms of iodine deficiency and thyroid problems may include fatigue, dry skin, rise in blood fats, voice hoarseness, slow reflexes, and poor mental clarity.
