OF THE
TIMES
Iodine is known to be crucial for life in many unicellular organisms (including evolutionarily ancient cyanobacteria), in part, because it acts as a powerful antioxidant. I propose that during the last 3–4 billion years, the ease with which various iodine species become volatile, react with simple organic compounds, and catalyze biochemical reactions explains why iodine became an essential constituent of life and the Earth's atmosphere—and a potential marker for the origins of life. From an initial role as membrane antioxidant and biochemical catalyst, spontaneous coupling of iodine with tyrosine appears to have created a versatile, highly reactive and mobile molecule, which over time became integrated into the machinery of energy production, gene function, and DNA replication in mitochondria. Iodotyrosines later coupled together to form THs, the ubiquitous cell-signaling molecules used by all vertebrates.An interesting thing happened to Iodine in our diet. Years ago its importance was recognized, added to salt and used as a bread leavening agent. Along came radioactive Iodine with atomic bombs and nuke industry. Bromine will replace Iodine in the thyroid, and this would protect against the radioactive Iodine. Iodine is the best fuel for the thyroid, Bromine is, of course, a toxin. They switched Bromine for Iodine in the bread and told people to cut salt consumption. All the sick, pasty, red blotched people, where do they all come from.
