How apropos that almost one year from today that we are talking about the halogen of the week: IODINE!
It like to discuss Potassium Iodine (KI), a stable and nonradioactive iodine. After nuclear radiation fallout, radioactive iodine is released. This evil iodine enters our body and is absorbed by the thyroid gland thus destroying it and the body. KI comes to the rescue because it can block the radioactive iodine from entering the thyroid, preventing damage to the thyroid gland.
