FUNCTION OF IODINE IN HUMAN BODY:
Iodine is a trace mineral and a nutrient found naturally in the body. At present, the only physiologic role known for iodine in the human body is in the synthesis of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF DEFICIENCY
Iodine deficiency disorders, the collective name for endemic goiter.
When iodine availability decreases and plasma levels of T4 hormone drop, the pituitary gland secretes thyroid-stimulating hormone.
Thyroid enlargement called goiter. Mental imbalances such as depression
and anxiety Mental retardation Fetal hypothyroidism
IODINE TOXICITY Iodine toxicity can cause enlargement of
the thyroid gland and decreased thyroid hormone synthesis.
Toxicities have reported in Japan and in Chile
Hypothyroidism is the most common result in the iodine toxicity, excess iodine intakes also may increase the risk of hyperthyroidism, autoimmune thyroid disease, and thyroid cancer.
RECOMMENDED SODIUM INTAKE:
Ages: 19–50
1.5 g/1,500 mg3,800 mg, or ⅔ teaspoon (tsp.)2.3 g/2,300 mg (equivalent to 5.8 g/5,800 mg, or 1 tsp., salt)
Asian Scientist (Jul. 8, 2013) - Researchers have developed a lithium-iodine battery system that has double the energy density of conventional lithium-ion batteries. This was achieved by replacing the organic electrolyte in conventional lithium-ion electrochemical cells with water.
