Due to the high incidence of goiters (hypothyroidism) in some midwestern states of the U.S., salt was iodized to prevent hypothyroidism from occuring. Iodine is important in the synthesis of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland. With iodine deficiencies, too many Americans, in the central U.S. especially, were developing hypothyroidism. This has been corrected, from a public health policy standpoint, by requiring that salt is iodized. (However, there are alternatives available, nowadays in markets, for those who wish no iodine in their salt.)
