The Low Iodine Cookbook is the ultimate cookbook for thyroid cancer patients who need to be on the low iodine diet (LID) for radioactive iodine treatment or scans. Written by a renowned cookbook author who is experienced with the issues involved with special diets and substitutions--particularly diets that don't allow dairy, or store-bought breads, the unique cookbook contains more than 250 kitchen-tested recipes and over 20 milk substitutes and variations, and an exhaustive nutritional analysis chart.
At last, LID recipes are easy and delicious--by the woman critics hail as the "Julia Child" of specialty diet cooking. Always keeping her motto that "food that is good for you should taste good!" in mind, Norene's take on the LID is no exception. This book will change the lives of thyroid cancer patients.

Excellent for anyone who needs help:
I bought this book to get some ideas when my brain is foggy from being hypothyroidal. But then a friend borrowed it so she could prepare some meals for HER friend who had to undergo renewed tests. That friend is not a cook, and there lies the value of this book. Anyone who uses prefab foods and has no idea how to prepare meals from scratch will be in trouble when suddenly faced with a low iodine diet.
