^ Do you eat table salt?
i don't use table salt bc it tastes like shit, so i just use celtic sea salt. i also don't really eat seafood. and i don't eat any packaged foods whatsoever either so there is very little iodine in my diet compared to someone eating the standard american diet which includes a ton of iodized salt.
Oh, and low iodine doesn't cause hypo or hyper thyroidism
i was saying that fluoride is used to treat hyperthyroidism. my supplement is not isolated iodine, it's just kelp/sea weed/stuff like that that grows in the sea.
Your thyroid will adjust to do what your body needs but because there's no iodine, the negative feedback loop shutting off the production of a hormone won't work, so your thyroid will enlarge to produce more and more... Forming goiter.
and i don't really understand what you're saying here.
isn't goiter is caused by iodine insufficiency or an under-active thyroid which causes the thyroid to swell in a quest to produce more? that's at least the cause in places where people don't use iodized salt.
maybe i'm taking what you said the wrong way.
