Tel,
Thanks for that. I have been compiling information on iodine content
of foods ( I am very allergic) and sometime find things giving "iodide"
content. I had been wondering what the difference was.

IODINE, IODIDE, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
Iodine is a basic element, as are calcium, zinc, oxygen and other
elements. The word "iodine" usually refers to two iodine molecules
chemically "stuck together" (I2), just as the word "oxygen" usually
refers to two oxygen molecules "stuck together" (O2). Since iodine is
more reactive, and therefore more likely to cause problems, iodine is
usually used as "iodide", a word which refers to one iodine molecule
combined with another molecule such as potassium (KI) or sodium (NaI).
