Zusammenfassung:[...]iodine is not a drug but an essential element required for normal thyroid function. [...]including it in a table as an example of drugs contraindicated in breastfeeding is totally unacceptable. [...]the maternal recommended daily intake for iodine during pregnancy and lactation is 250 micrograms. [...]I think this article is more likely to cause harm than do good by deterring iodine supplementation during pregnancy and lactation.
