People get goiter for two reasons.
1) lack of iodine
iodine is used to produce the Thyroid gland
if there isn't enough iodine, the Thyroid can't produce enough Thyroid hormone for the bodies needs, so it gets bigger to make up for it
2)too much iodine
the body produces to much Thyroid hormones because it is being overdosed by the iodine.
it then swells up...
hope that helped!
