However, on reading Mercola's comments, which I have no investment in (of any sort, neither financial or emotional), it appears that he is making a distinction between iodine and iodide. Lugol's apparently has both in it. Whether this is a valid concern, I am not able to discern... That being said, it appears that even he is not able to be consistent in his references to iodine and iodide in his own writing... I haven't been able to read it yet, but the site you indicated, under "Iodine Chemistry" may speak to this issue.
