I wrote earlier about the suitability-for-LID dispute, and how terrible I felt about it -- the Thycans said, "It's not safe, it's a diary product," and I realized that I hadn't asked the appropriate questions.
Well, now I am feeling much better, since I followed up and talked with two different people at the company, one in customer relations, and one in R&D. The bottom line is that the whey is processed through multiple filters that almost assuredly scrub out the iodine. They cannot legally say that it is iodine free because it is derived from dairy, but in their tests it is virtually undetectable, a few parts per million.
That's good enough for me.
Best part is, I asked about posting this info over on the ThyCa Yahoo! group, and they said it was OK to do that. Clearly this will be a "use at your own risk, your mileage may vary," but they do not believe there should be an issue. Huzzah!
I love researching a concrete issue like this, and contacting the appropriate people and interviewing them. I like getting answers, even if I don't always like the answers I get. I think I could be really happy if I ever got healthy enough to pursue a real writing career.
Now I just have to work up the energy, and the nerve to post. I will, I will -- I'm just clearing the decks here, so to speak.
