Iodine Deficiency Endangers Women and Infants
A recent scientific review reveals a concerning rise in iodine deficiency rates among women, especially pregnant women, due to reduced consumption of dairy products and reliance on plant-based alternatives that lack the mineral. This deficiency poses serious health risks, causing thyroid disorders and osteoporosis, and also affects fetal brain development. There is a notable link between low iodine levels and decreased intelligence skills in children. Studies have indicated that the average iodine level in the United Kingdom has fallen to 82 micrograms per liter, below the recommended minimum. Experts are calling for strategies to improve iodine intake among women of childbearing age and pregnant women.
