Iodine Deficiency

• The essential element, Iodine, has origins rooted in primitive for all existence. It is a rudimentary antioxidant, anti-infective, and metabolic control factor.
• Thyroid gland enlargements, or goiters, spurred a need for iodized table salt to bring iodine deficiencies back into balance in the early 20th century, but now high salt intake is discouraged by many medical agencies, giving iodine deficiencies room to breathe.
• In today’s world, the risk of iodine deficiency extends from goiters and hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone levels) to fibrocystic breast disease and breast cancer.
• Keeping iodine levels satisfactory is easy. Taking kelp tablets or Iodoral.
