Iodine Research and Hypothyroidism

[Dulane]

Oddly enough, I found this link and I'm now interested in more research on iodine deficiencies and their role in auto-immune diseases.

It has come up over and over again in this forum that many of us are hypothyroid. This can cause slugishness, which is all part of metabolizing foods and low energy.

I don't know how true this info is, but the writers make it sound like our soil is iodine deficient, and so are the majority of us.
