I was doing a search the other day and came across some research findings that long-term use permanently damaged the ability of iodine intercellular transport, or something like that. But only in people who already had compromised thyroid function. With normal function, it seemed to only slow it down and thyroxine supplementation did the trick. Didn't keep the link but it scared me into quitting the stuff. B-Cat,
