Since chlorine is known to replace iodine in our bodies and have a deleterious effect on intestinal health (where 70 to 80% of our immune systems are located!) this has to be suspected as part of the reason for the increase of the incidence of baldness in both men and women. So filtering our water (shower water too )should perhaps be a priority for each of us. Also, much of our water is fluoridated. This also replaces iodine in our bodies so we may need to get rid of that too. Since bromine in bread (since the early 1980's, commercial bread products use a bromine based dough conditioner instead of the formerly used iodine containing one), and bromine will also drive out iodine, then we may need to take action here also. All three of these -- chlorine, fluoride, and bromine--- drive out our beneficial iodine, and themselves have very bad effects on us. We are increasingly bombarded with these and have a reduced intake of iodine as well. So the stage is set for poor endocrine gland function (think thyroid gland though they all influence each others functioning). Well, I didn't mean to write a book, but it is really terrible what is being done to people just through ignorance and undue reliance on authorities to regulate what we eat and drink. Just my opinion and none of this should be construed as advice of any kind since I have no certificates or degrees of any kind in nutrition or medicine. But I have a computer and a brain and all the above can be checked out. It takes pretty strong conviction based on sufficient knowledge to take action regarding iodine since so many regard it as poison. Sorry for the length of this post. Best wishes, pj ps I added the 'may's and 'perhaps' after rereading this. No Gestapo for me I hope.
