Let's burst this myth around iodized salt 🧂
Whenever it comes to hypothyroidism and iodine, I get to hear a lot of things from patients and their caregivers. There are 2 in particular I want to talk about.
Myth: Hypothyroidism is always caused by iodine deficiency.
“Hum to iodised salt khate the, ye kese ho gya?”
Fact: Iodine deficiency is just one potential cause of hypothyroidism. Other factors, such as autoimmune diseases, inflammation of thyroid gland and certain medications, can also lead to an underactive thyroid.
Myth: Taking extra iodine can cure hypothyroidism.
Fact: While iodine is essential for thyroid hormone production, most cases of hypothyroidism are caused by other factors, and taking excessive iodine is not the best solution for your problem.
