Iodine is a natural requirement of
our
diets. Iodine deficiency can lead to inadequate production of thyroid hormone from the
thyroid gland (hypothyroidism). For example, in some parts of Zaire, Ecuador, India, and
Chile, remote, mountainous areas, such as in the Alps (in the past), Andes and the
Himalayas have a particular predisposition to severe iodine deficiency, goiter, and
hypothyroidism. Since the addition of iodine to table salt, iodine deficiency is rarely
seen in the United States.
