The factors that influence a person's chances of developing goiter are numerous and really cannot be brought down to one simple cause. Aside from diet there is also lifestyle as well as genetics to consider. The traditional association of goiter, or gouty Arthritis, with consumption of red meats has been around for a while but it is not really that accurate with all things considered. The other factor is that some seafoods do have high levels of fats and can also contribute to developing goiter though the genetics probably plays the biggest role. And so to answer your question, some people that eat seafood do, in fact, suffer from goiter, it is just that there is a larger percentage of meat eaters that do that may make it seem that they don't.
