RE: No-potato fries, and NZ vs US sweet potatoes
Ohhh that's interesting, put iodine on the object or do I have to dip it in liquid first?

Drip iodine on the item. Here's a pic of some foods that I've dripped iodine on, some are starch free and some have starch. See the cauli is still quite golden but the bread in front of it has black.
Oh wow! I didn't imagine it to look like that! If you haven't told me, I swear I would think the food had gone rotten. It's still safe to eat even with the iodine, right? The black marked ones looks so unappetizing. There's science for you, folks haha!
No, that's for the purposes of testing only. Test a small portion and eat the rest. It would be not very nice tasting with the iodine.
Ahh I see. Yeah, I remember iodine splashing on my in chemistry class. Not a taste I would want to repeat. So bitter. But, is it hazardous to eat though?
As long as it's food or pharmaceutical grade , no it's not hazardous. In fact, so many people are iodine deficient, it's probably beneficial. But that's not how I would take supplemental iodine. I usually put it on my skin to absorb at it's own rate, or would take it in water. If ingesting, you need to gradually increase your dose, then later on gradually decrease it again.
The water one I've seen. It's cool that it could be done through skin, since iodine is a disinfectant as well. That way it serves a dual purpose haha
