Common iodized table salt was supposed to help this, but today so many processed foods have enough salt that table salt is seldom added in preparation or at the table.
What effect does insufficient iodine have in men?
The iodized salt did help alleviate goiter but there is such a miniscule amount of iodine added to it that it does not have a solid affect in saturating our cells with iodine because of the toxins that ‘mimic’ iodine and block its absorption in tiny doses. When I say tiny, I mean the RDA in the US is 150 mcg and the Japanese, as an example, get 14-15 mg per day (excuse the sorry math, but about 1000 x more). They have a VERY low incidence of breast/thyroid/uterine/ovarian/prostate cancer in Japan.
I meant to mention, prostate issues are due to iodine deficiency, as well as the benefit of the thyroid, for men.
