They claim that iodine supplements are dangerous. Those who advocate supplementing directly with iodine argue that the concern is only for product purity. Applying iodine to the skin and allowing it to penetrate is considered a good self test for iodine deficiency. The premise is that the body will absorb iodine to satisfy its needs. So if a painted patch of iodine is quickly absorbed, in an hour or less, it may be a sign the body needs more iodine.
Insulin (from the Latin, insula meaning island) is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells in the pancreas. It regulates the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats by promoting the absorption of glucose from the blood to skeletal muscles and fat tissue and by causing fat to be stored rather than used for energy. Insulin also inhibits the production of glucose by the liver.
It is produced by the beta cells of pancreas, an organ that is located in the abdomen. Insulin allows the glucose uptake by body cells so that it can be utilized as fuel by the body tissues.Our body needs an optimum level of insulin to maintain the normal glucose balance. Either reduction or an increase in insulin will have deleterious effects on body.
