There's stuff in seaweed that neutralizes what little iodine is there,
like bromine.
The Japanese eat special types hard to find elsewhere to get their iodine.

There are iodine receptors in every gland in the human body; yours are
almost certainly plugged with bromine, and maybe fluorine.
Iodine is the only known thing that removes these halogens.

I bet your Chinese DOM tells you that if you take more than the 
(pathetic) rda of
iodine a wart will grow on the end of your nose, with a long hair
growing out of said wart, you ears will fall off, you'll get thyroid
