Iodine in Nutrition. A Review of Existing Information.

Iodine in Nutrition. A Review of Existing Information. The inorganic constituents of our diet are only beginning to receive the consideration that they merit. Only recently are scientists realizing the importance for the human economy of small amounts of copper, iron, iodine and other elements of inorganic character. Iodine is absolutely essential for the maintenance of the physiologic balance of the animal organism. The authors have assembled in this special report of the Medical Research Council the literature on the subject since the discovery of iodine by Courtois in 1811. The work contains much practical material on the iodine requirement for health and on the use of iodine in both the prevention and the treatment of goiter. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png JAMA American Medical Association
