The use of iodine against radioactivity is a strategy used to avoid injuries caused by nuclear radiation and therefore all individuals who have been exposed to this type of radiation should take 1 capsule daily of iodine under medical supervision.
The use of iodine is important because when the body does not find enough iodine in the diet it looks for the iodine present in the radiation, but this type of radioactive iodine is bad for health and can lead to thyroid diseases and even cancer. The goal of taking iodine is to make the thyroid not need to absorb more iodine, because its reserves are full.
