Potassium Iodide is the best protection against thyroid damage and thyroid cancer induced by radioactive iodine exposure. This simple compound, which is used to iodize salt, protects the thyroid by saturating all of the iodine binding sites in the gland. Potassium iodide is a source of safe, stable iodine that rapidly saturates the thyroid, leaving no room for the binding of radioactive iodine, which then is simply excreted from the body. According to a statement by the FDA, “Potassium iodine is a safe and effective means by which to prevent radioactive iodine uptake by the thyroid gland, under certain specified conditions of use, and thereby obviate the risk of thyroid cancer in the event of a radiation emergency.”
