Thanks to @MichaelRosenYes for highlighting the effects of severe hypothyroidism and how it’s often missed in younger people and in men. If you’re concerned about symptoms, please ask your GP to check your thyroid function.

3/3 if you’ve an existing thyroid condition, you don’t need to follow a low-iodine diet unless your doctor advises you to. You can eat iodine containing foods as part of a balanced diet. Pregnancy supplements or multivitamins containing iodine (not in excessive amts) are also ok.

2/3 Achieving the recommended iodine daily intake of 150mcg (200 mcg in conception, pregnancy & postpartum) is therefore vital. Eggs, fish and milk are good sources of iodine. If you exclude these food groups, you should take a supplement containing iodine to address this.

1/3 Thanks to @DrPeteTaylor and co-authors for highlighting the declining dietary iodine intake in the UK and its potential harm on our intelligence and fetal brain development.

New research highlights the often long-term consequence of thyroid cancer on patients' quality of life. Better information, care and emotional support are urgently needed to address this. #ThyroidCancer

A vital message in conception and pregnancy as well as for the general UK population which has a shockingly low iodine status worsened due to changes in diet over the past decade.

Great to see a new site added to this trial which will compare the outcomes of radiofrequency ablation with surgery on benign thyroid nodules. If you’re a patient with benign thyroid nodules living in this area, please ask your doctor about eligibility.

1/2 whilst people with an existing thyroid condition should avoid excess iodine, and especially avoid kelp or iodine supplements, it can be eaten as part of a balanced diet. They should not follow a low iodine diet unless advised to do so by a healthcare practitioner.
