Iodine Supplementation: Usage “with a Grain of Salt” by Alessandro Prete, Rosa Maria Paragliola, Salvatore Maria Corsello

“…To date, evaluating iodine status in a clinical setting has limitations, and assessing the actual risk for each individual can be challenging, since it is influenced by personal history, genetics, and environmental factors. In conclusion, iodine supplementation programs need to be continued and strengthened, but iodine should be used “with a grain of salt,” because a growing number of susceptible individuals will be exposed to the risk of developing iodine-induced thyroid disorders.…”
