Agree with annparker,rasta and bambam--check this link out:
The National Institute for Health gives iodine a "maybe" in possibly reducing incidence of cyst growth in breast tissue--these cysts aren't necessarily the malignant kind. After Googling the NIH and the Mayo Clinic, it seems that the consensus is that if you live in a developed country, chances are that you're probably getting enough iodine in your diet already.
Overuse of iodine can lead to a host of other nasty little side effects ( you'll see 'em on the link).
I think if your family history warrants keeping a close eye on your breast checkups--you're far better off seeing your doc on a regular basis than home-medicating with iodine.
