How is bromine bad for humans?

bromine is a halogen (an element that can be very reactive and acidic). similar to inhaling chlorine and fluorine which is even more toxic. this is because bromine has 7 electrons in outermost orbit and capable of stealing 1 electrons from another molecule/atoms/element to achieve a stable octet structure. this makes bromine negatively charge which can cause damage in your body. Bromine does have it's human uses, though. Bromine compounds are used in some medications, and if you've ever swum in a large heated pool, odds are the disinfectant in the water was bromine just as likely as chlorine.

Is bromine good for your health?

Bromine is in the chemical family of halides, of which iodine is a member. Bromine and iodine are very close to the same size and structure. Our body has receptors and needs for iodine. There is no known use for bromine in the body. Up until the early 1970s, iodine was added to bakery products as a dough conditioner. Then the food industry began substituting bromine for iodine. It has never been made clear why. Since that time, iodine levels have been falling and bromine levels have been rising in our bodies. The consequence of this shift has been immense. In fact, bromine interferes with iodine utilization in the thyroid as well as wherever iodine concentrates in the body. Bromine promotes the formation of goiter and is a known carcinogen. On the other hand, iodine prevents goiter and has anticarcinogenic properties. Remember, iodine concentrates in the glandular tissue of the body - the thyroid, breasts, ovaries, uterus, and probably the prostate gland. Lowering the amount of iodine in them and replacing it with bromine is a recipe for problems in these glandular tissues. Is it any wonder that we are seeing epidemic rates of disease in the thyroid, breasts, ovaries, uterus, and the prostate, when bromine is so toxic?
