[QUOTE="JohnTaylorHK, post: 187596, member: 33105"] Modern agricultural methods, mainly since the introduction of chemical fertilizers in the 1950's, have been the cause of such severe mineral depletion that, for example, whole provinces of India suffer from hypothyroidism. In India, it is illegal to sell salt that does not contain potassium iodate. In Australia, bread must be made using iodized salt. The (US) National Consumer Database does not contain iodine content of most listed foods. The recommended daily intake of 150ugm of iodine (for thyroid efficiency) is covered provided the daily recommended amount of iodized salt is consumed. This disregards the other metabolic pathways that require iodine. Add to this the effects of things like boron depletion, and you have the makings of an escalating endocrinological train wreck. Of course, the body has mechanisms to balance deficiencies (recycling of phylloquinone being an interesting one), which is why SOME folks affected by iodine deficiency have enlarged thyroids (goiter), but there is a limit to those mechanisms. The emphasis remains on the individual to alleviate their own situation. Namaste. [/QUOTE]
