Iodine warning AND the most dangerous things for swaying
Update 12-22-17
Hey guys, it's been brought to my attention (thank you Layla!!) that iodine may be something we want to consider adding to our sway as a prenatal-type vitamin. It ~probably~ doesn't sway substantially either way but it is important for fetal brain development. I'm sure you've heard the expression "cretin"; this refers to a type of mental retardation caused by a lack of iodine during pregnancy.
Most people get ample iodine via iodized salt but since you're swaying pink, you may not get as much iodine as you were. Strawberries and dairy foods are considered good sources of iodine, but at least in Australia (not sure about US and UK) farmers are not using iodine to kill germs any longer and so dairy may have less iodine than it did at one time. So it's conceivable that you might end up eating less iodine than you would otherwise. Prepackaged foods do not contain iodized salt and restaurants typically do not use it either. (it's more expensive than reg. salt)
Please note, too much iodine is not good either and thyroid patients, you need to consult with your doctor before taking supplemental iodine as it may not be safe for you. So doublecheck with your doctor to see if he/she feels an iodine supp is necessary.
If you do choose to take an iodine supp, the RDA during pregnancy/breastfeeding is 220-290 mcg a day, so no need to take any more than that (you may want to take LESS because you're already likely getting some via diet anyway.) Please avoid KELP supplements because they can be contaminated with arsenic and other grossness!
ALSO, please EVERYONE READ this essay, it lists the most dangerous things for swaying.
