How would one 'filter' the solution, bearing in mind that it is part of a seasoning packet that includes numerous colourants?
I don't have the resource budget for any scientific experiments or any complex scientific equipment.
"Starch test"
The products, containing wheat flour, are likely already contaminated with starch, therefore this test would produce invalid results. Even the seasoning, in most cases, will contain carbohydrate elements.
"health advocates suggest 6mg of Potassium Iodide daily"
It's advisible not to confuse iodide with iodate. Iodate has higher toxicity levels (per article), and is not naturally occurring. You have to consume more iodate to get similar protection levels with iodide.
"checking 24h urine concentration will indicate tissue status"
Sampling my urine to test for iodide would be inadvisible because I get iodide from other sources (including supplements) and there would be a cross-contamination risk.
"I am inclined to think that iodine deficiency is much more likely and much more dangerous than an excess."
"he choice of compound is markedly TOXIC and indicate why supplementation in a generally deficient population is HARMFUL."
It is literally in the article. I will requote, although I shouldn't have to do this:
[…] the dose recommended for radioprotection of 100 mg of iodine daily over several days (138 mg iodate per day) are close to retinotoxic doses of iodate reported in cases of accidental intoxication. In these doses iodate cannot be recommended. […]

"I am very much inclined to think that the reasons are a result of manufacturing economics. "
Iodised salt costs more than normal salt. This was established in the previous article.
I'd prefer it if you actually read my work rather than shilling in defence of globalist policies.
The plans for putting Potassium Iodate in the food *is also public* and was already referenced in the prior article, and it isn't "manufacturing economics".
"I marked the 20th as the day I need to cancel my subscription, it would be cool if we can at least agree to disagree before then."
I'm a man of integrity and cannot be bribed into globalist viewpoints.
You only bought one month's subscription anyway. You previously unsubscribed, and I think the only reason you did so was to spread FUD in the comments section on the research.
Does my basic investigation into the mysterious, sudden and simultaneous appearance of potassium iodate in the food supply have the governments that bothered?
You folks really don't want people putting 2 and 2 together on nuclear war.
Iodide supplementation my arse. 70 years you had to implement that bullshit. Hell, you bastards hid it from the shelves for a good 10 years. Now you're about to declare war on Russia and suddenly it's in every store shelves for miles?
Weird take away. My observation was you hadn't read the article. I'd go on to suggest you didn't read my comment either.
"100mg of Iodine is a huge dose."
Yes. And did you see how much more iodate was required? More than 1/3rd more. 138mg. If 100mg is toxic, then picking a chemical that requires more to meet parity is insane.
"My comment about manufacturing economics was to suggest a reason to CHANGE from iodide to iodate"
You invoked price cost with no context.
You are aware the foods *never* had iodide in them in the first place, right? They only had salt. Did you see the older noodle packets in the prior article? Salt only.
"The need for iodine supplementation was already well established globally when the first papers was published in 1956, it is not a new thing."
And yet the plan for it was only published in 2023, and it was only implemented June 2024. Why wait nearly 70 years to implement? Why during the verge of two nuclear superpowers about to go at it?
"Yet potassium iodate has been used as a iodine supplement in tropical countries for decades."
No evidence of this claim has been provided.
Britain is not a "tropical country".
I already get my supplementation from elsewhere. I don't need it shoved down my throat by having it sneakily added to noodles *unannounced*.
You educate people, you don't sneak shit into their foods.
"Please tell me HOW much potassium iodate is in the noodles so I can adjust my level of FEAR accordingly."
And would knowing the dosage help you if nuclear war breaks out?
You understand the implications right?
Or maybe you don't want to. Maybe you're here just to spread FUD because you strangely didn't read either article - which raises *and* refutes many of the bad arguments put forward here.
