TL;DR: The role of voluntary iodine prophylaxis was assessed in a small rural community relatively segregated, in which genetic and other environmental factors have not substantially changed between the 2 surveys, and the benefits of correcting iodine deficiency far outweighs the risk of development of thyroid autoimmunity and mild hypothyroidism in youngsters.

TL;DR: Iodine-induced thyroid autoimmunity is related to TgAb and the unmasking of a cryptic epitope on Tg contributes to this relationship in humans.

TL;DR: Biofortification of vegetables with iodine provides a mild but significative increase in UI concentration and, together with the habitual use of iodized salt, may contribute to improve the iodine nutritional status of the population without risks of iodine excess.

TL;DR: Iodine supplementation of dairy goat diets can increase milk iodine content without adverse effects on milk production traits, and iodine enrichment in milk was approximately 31% in groups 1 and 2 compared with the control group.

TL;DR: A sizable proportion of the population, especially girls, appeared to be at risk of iodine inadequacy, and the simple measurement of UIC could lead to underestimation of the occurrence of iodine deficiency in younger children, because of the age-related smaller urine volumes producing spuriously higher iodine concentrations.
