Iodine & Breast Cancer

[SandyR]

Thank you all for the information. Very interesting. My own onc says there is no correlation, but I can't be sure! I am trying to increase my intake of iodine and will check out the solution. Thanks for your responses!

Sandy,

If you go to breastcancerchoices.org you will find info on a bc listserv (amazon-L) that has a bunch of women who are exploring this bc/iodine connection. I subscribed for awhile and I must say most of the discussion went over my head. But if you check their archives you'll find LOADS of discussion about this issue.

Good luck!
Jeff
