Last month, I discussed the important role of iodine in thyroid, gastrointestinal and cognitive health. I also reviewed common causes of iodine deficiency such as salt-restricted diets; low iodine levels in the soil; intake of goitrogens (foods that reduce iodine uptake and utilization) and intake of other halogen elements including fluorine, chlorine and bromine, which compete with iodine for uptake from the intestines. This month, I will discuss the role of iodine in breast and prostate tissue and the significance of iodine in optimizing breast and prostate health.
