wth? the amount of iodide ions that circulate in the blood is extremely low, compared to calcium concentration its negligible. also im hard pressed to think that calcium metal would be present in the body together with iodine =/Originally posted by RETARDED_MORON:Seafood contains iodine. Iodine, when dissolved in extracellular fluid, will form iodide, which acts as a reducing agent which reduces Calcium ions to form Calcium metal. The decrease in concentration of calcium ions, which are needed as co-factors of thrombokinase which converts prothrombin to thrombin, will cause blood clotting to slow down due to the decrease in rate of formation of fibrin from fibrinogen.
