Hi JC,
There finding "All thyroid laboratory values returned to baseline 2 weeks after cessation of kelp supplementation, except for TSH in the high-dose kelp group, which was significantly decreased." would be expected. TSH goes up in cases of hypothyroidism to help the thyroid generate more thyroid hormone. On the other end of the spectrum as thyroid hormone levels increase TSH levels will drop to prevent over production of thyroid hormones. So the TSH is dropping in response to the increased iodine levels to prevent over production of thyroid hormones. So no surprise in their findings and nothing showing a danger.
