More on refined vs. unrefined
This is the same thing as refined flour, refined sugar, etc. Nature provides what the body needs but man comes along and removes all the beneficial parts and retains only what is profitable. Refined flour, refined sugar, a preponderance of high fructose corn syrup added to foods and we have a country bathed in obesity and people dying from heart disease, diabetes, etc. If you look at countries where these things are not the staple of diets, you find healthier populations. Japan had a low rate of death due to heart disease until they became enamored of our western diet. Now they're catching up with us (if they haven't already).
As far as protective against radiation, etc.: and scroll down to: How Does Potassium Iodide (KI) Pill Provide Anti-Radiation Protection?
Granted, he overstated the case which is irresponsible but it is based on fact.
