The thyroid gland is essential for human health. It can be overactive or under active in certain people, though this is easily treated medically. It can become cancerous, but it is a very treatable form of cancer (very low mortality rate). The thyroid gland helps to control the speed of human metabolism.

If you have hyperthyroidism which is bad for you iron or iodine?

If you have hyperthyroidism, neither iron nor iodine is bad for you. Excessive consumption of either can be dangerous however, and since iodine is fuel the thyroid uses to produce thyroid hormone, anti-thyroid drugs (ATD's) are used to help the body lower its ability to use iodine in the thyroid. Iodine is necessary for life however, as is iron. For appropriate diagnosis and treatment of thyroid dysfunction, please seek the help of a board certified endocrinologist who specializes in thyroid problems.
