Iodine toxicity - connections

Iodine toxicity ->

• Affects: Population (Polarity: negative; Scope: most people)

Iodine supplementation - connections

Iodine supplementation ->

• Normalizes: Thyroid gland (Scope: most individuals on hypothyroid medication; Simplicity: simply; Dose: extra; Certainty: could)
• Prevents: Mental retardation (Certainty: could have; Population: children; Condition: large goitrogen intake)
• Triggers: Hyperthyroidism (Amount: RDA or RDI; Condition: long-standing iodine deficiency; Frequency: rare; Modality: can)

-> Iodine supplementation
