Education --IODINE DEFICIENCY - Part 2 of 3: Iodine deficiency is the world’s most prevalent cause of preventable mental disability, with more than 1.5 billion people in at least 110 countries at risk. It causes stillbirth, severe mental retardation, and physical disabilities in infants born to iodine deficient mothers. Iodine deficient children and adults suffer reduced mental and physical abilities. Iodization of salt not only can prevent these disorders but can reverse some existing conditions, as well as improve mental capabilities and productivity.
