Iodine is necessary for the thyroid gland to make thyroxine hormone. In case iodine is deficient in our diet, e.g. not eating enough fish and other seafood that contains natural iodine, there is a possibility that we might suffer from goitre.
Iodine deficiency can also produce mental retardation and is a global problem. Excessive use of table salt (NaCl) is also harmful, so a balanced seafood diet is better against mental and other malnutrition problems.
