Natural News Insider ( www.NaturalNews.com ) - please forward Nuclear accidents can happen unexpectedly. In fact, the rise of nuclear power plants, the war in Ukraine, and the highly reckless and provocative actions of Western Nation have exasperated this risk. According to the National Council on Radiation Protection (NCRP), one of the greatest public safety concerns after a nuclear power plant accident is the sudden release of radioactive materials into the environment. One substance, in particular, has been flagged by the NCRP for its harmful effects on human health: radioactive iodine. During a nuclear disaster, radioactive iodine can enter your body via absorption, inhalation or ingestion of contaminated food and water. Once inside, it can accumulate in your thyroid gland and cause thyroid malfunction and cancer. The best way to protect your thyroid from radioactive iodine is by saturating it with non-radioactive iodine. Potassium iodide is an effective thyroid-blocking agent that can provide you with a stable form of non-radioactive iodine to protect your thyroid from radiation injury. In this feature article, you will learn about the history of potassium iodide and why potassium iodide tablets are a crucial item to have in the event of a nuclear disaster. Learn More |
