Iodine and Thyroid Health

Iodine is essential for thyroid health, but excessive supplementation can trigger flares in those with Hashimoto's. Selenium plays a crucial role in balancing iodine's effects, and seafood is a great source of both nutrients. Interestingly, studies show that increased iodine intake, such as through iodized salt, may correlate with higher rates of Hashimoto's, highlighting the need for moderation in nutrient intake.
