Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 Val, If I were severely iodine deficient then could the iodine replacement also increase T3 production?

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 Goiter can be caused by either iodine deficiency or iodine excess. Google " iodine toxicity " or iodine excess goiter " or similar. Given the increasing popularity of huge intakes of supplemental iodine, I wouldn't be surprised if iodine excess goiters were to become more common in the U.S. And reading recently, I found out that iodine excess can actually also block the thyroid. I forget whether it blocked hormone production or cell uptake. sol Gikas wrote: > Dr. Blanchard said I had the largest goiter of any of his patients when I went in last week.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 Excess iodine actually seem to induce death of thyroid cells (1), at least in culture. 1.
