Are you asking if that's right, safe, or okay to do? I don't understand what you're asking exactly.
Most people that eat processed foods and/or have a lot of salt in their diet likely get way more than the RDA of Iodine, so unless you have a low salt diet, this wouldn't be terribly beneficial. It would be a fast way to get Iodine into your blood stream... but that doesn't mean it's safe (especially if you are taking enough Iodine in your diet).
[edit] No prob. I thought that's what you were asking, I just figured I would cover the bases, just in case ;-)
