David - just as a follow-up, I eat about a square inch of flattened kelp 
(dried - from the health food store) every day or three. I figure that 
gives me about what I need. But I skip some days since it feels, 
sometimes, like I'm eating too much. So just munching on a small amount 
every day or two might be plenty of elemental iodine. The excess amount 
sometimes feels like being "wired" or a bit edgy or "puffy." I've never 
done the "math" but the packages are usually marked with the amount of 
iodine per gram, etc. I'm not so strict on the amounts, just that I get 
some, periodically - I rely on my instinct.  -=mark=-
