Iodine is an element you may not really think about, but it is necessary for proper thyroid function. The body does not produce iodine, so we must get it from our diets. According to Dr. David Brownstein, "Iodine deficiency is occurring at epidemic rates. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey showed that iodine levels have fallen nearly 60% over the last 40 years."
Iodine deficiency is one of the most common and preventable world health problems. This deficiency leads to goiter and thyroid disorders.
