Do you sushi?

The best sources of iodine are seafood and seaweed because iodine comes from the sea. Coastal areas have more iodine in their soil due to the rain having a higher salt content.

    Yes, it is very exciting to talk about! Did you know that Iodine was discovered by Charles Bernard Desormes (1777-1862) in 1811?

    I just learned that, thank you for sharing! Did you know that there are many forms of iodine? All of them are radioactive except for I-127.

    You know, I took you up on that and did some more searching. The name Iodine originates from the Greek word Iodes meaning "violet."
