Iodized newspaper ink cures Iodine deficiency disease

newspapers throughout the developing world have an item printed with Iodized ink; just eat the article to cure a disease that affected 2 billion during the 20th century

wikipedia says Iodine deficiency disease has affected two billion people simultaneously; a third of earths 20th century population

Newspapers are ubiquitous trash available as new used or trash to almost all humans

printing a nutrition Item brings Iodine sufficiency to giant numbers of people

Iodine sufficiency can be achieved with near 70 micrograms of Iodine

There is also an opportunity here to put microgram micronutrients like V Sn B12 as well as birth defect reducing folate with the material

wikipedia microgram supplements

Iodine 150 µg

B12 2.4 µg

Folate 400 µg

Molybdenum 45 µg

Se 55 µg

with soybean ink

NB: I have the idea that the most potent allergens known are active at ug amounts; perhaps these potent immune activators could be linked to disease dna fragments to create edible print vaccines
