2 Disorders of the thyroid can result in one of two effects:3,4,5 Hypothyroidism -
an underactive thyroid, with inadequate hormone production, and
Hyperthyroidism - an overactive thyroid, with excess hormone production.
The prevalence of thyroid disease varies widely by
geographic region, but many areas have
experienced apparent increases.
6 The reasons for this are uncertain, but are likely due to variations in the
causes of thyroid dysfunction, such as: Inadequate dietary iodine - iodine is
required for the thyroid to work properly, and iodine deficiency is one of the
leading causes of thyroid disease worldwide.
The salt in processed food and salt from "Natural" sources
do not contain iodine, so people who get their salt from
these sources may become deficient, Too much iodine -
getting too much iodine is also toxic to the thyroid, so
people who take supplemental iodine may unknowingly be
harming their thy
