Most interesting. Having a thyroid problem isn't the worst medical problem that can befall a person, but it manifests itself in many unpleasant ways over the years. Like irregular heartbeats, tiredness, swollen ankles. The swollen ankles is scary, because that's similar to congestive heart failure.
I'm definitely open to reading more about the research described in this article.
By the way, thanks for your kudos on my tag line. May I suggest here that we all pray to the Lord to guide the researchers into making breakthroughs that will help alleviate and even cure thyroid problems and heart disease.
Like you said, thyroid problems are certainly not the worst health problem someone can have---especially since it is treatable with simple medication...but,
it is rather scary when you are told not to EVER miss a pill, or else...
I carry mine in my purse, just in case I get stuck away from home for any reason...
