Good post. There is a lot of information Dr Jarvis' originally raised that has now been brought forward under a proprietary Iodoral faq and post Jarvis research. I prefer Lugol's. Why? Simply because Dr.Jarvis and many others_including macrobiotic practioners and Gerson practioners_all agree_that processing in any of its forms denatures an end product. Less "processing" (in all of its manifestations) is required for a drop of Lugol's vs 1 tab of iodoral.Finally,the making of the tablet creates an entire industry in order to bring it to market (another "process").
imho
