Oh please...I hope you don't wanna get potassium iodide poisoning.
Living rather close to Chernobyl exclusion zone and to the areas that suffered from the disaster, they've always suggested us using iodized salt and including products rich in iodine in our diet without mentioning how it can harm your thyroid gland and how you should be careful with it.
There is no 100% cure against radiation. And even though they always seem to claim that the health risks are minimal - with the same level of radiation for one it can be safe for another it is dangerous.
With their "minimal" health risks the amount of cases of cancer and thyroid gland disfunction has increased dramatically here. Of course the government doesn't blame it on Chernobyl directly and even more, they're building another nuclear power plant here.
It's all about business...
