It is not suitable for thyroid patients to stop eating iodized salt by themselves
Shandong Commercial Daily
"the monitoring results of these years show that the coverage rate of iodized salt in Ji'nan has a declining trend. This shows that residents' consumption of iodized salt is not as enthusiastic as it used to be. Yesterday, Zhao Xiaodong, deputy director of infectious disease and endemic disease prevention and control center of Ji'nan CDC, said without worry. Today is the twenty-fourth "prevention and treatment of iodine deficiency disorders day" in our country. The theme is "iodine a little every day, more health." Ma Yuqin, deputy director of the provincial thyroid disease prevention and treatment center, told reporters that even if you find thyroid nodules, you need to eat iodized salt properly.

check out thyroid nodules to stop the citizens of the iodized salt
since he found that he grew thyroid nodules, Ms. Wang has never bought iodized salt to eat, now nearly 3 years. Her thyroid nodule did not grow, nor did it disappear.
"I had a hoarse voice three years ago and a little rough neck. I went to the hospital to see that I had a thyroid nodule, a big one, and a small one on the side." Ms. Wang told reporters that at that time the doctor told her to look at it and check it once every three months. "Ask the doctor for a lot of reasons. What's the cause of the pollution and the mental pressure? It was because of eating the iodized salt, and the doctor was not sure about the iodized salt." But after returning home from the hospital, Ms. Wang changed the iodized salt in her home and bought it without iodine.
reporters have learned that since the thyroid nodules were checked, many people have chosen the same as Ms. Wang: refusing to add iodized salt. This practice is not desirable for Ma Yuqin, deputy director of the provincial thyroid disease prevention and treatment center. Iodine is not the direct cause of the disease for most thyroid diseases.
hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and thyroiditis were significantly increased
20 years ago. "I have been working for 22 years. At the moment of work, there are more moderate and severe thyroid diseases and few mild patients." Ma Yuqin told reporters that in recent years, the incidence of thyroid disease is indeed much more. "Hyperthyroidism, thyroiditis, hypothyroidism, much more than before. This is closely related to the enhancement of health consciousness, regular check ups and improvement of detection technology, and has no direct relationship with iodized salt. " "I also heard that a lot of patients who have found thyroid nodules, and even some patients without nodules, have taken the initiative to stop the intake of iodized salt, which is very dangerous." Among more than 10 kinds of thyroid diseases, Ma Yuqin said, only hyperthyroidism, autoimmune thyroiditis, and high iodine areas need to limit iodine intake, and other thyroid diseases should take iodine properly.
residents' enthusiasm for iodized salt is not as good as in the past
the deputy director of the infectious disease and endemic control center of Ji'nan CDC, Zhao Xiaodong told reporters that the monitoring results of these years showed a declining trend in the coverage rate of iodized salt in Ji'nan. The decline in coverage of iodized salt indicates that residents' enthusiasm for iodized salt is not as good as before. "Except for some parts of the north of Ji'nan, most of the cities in the Yellow River are iodine deficient, and they all need iodine intake. Now the coverage of iodized salt is decreasing, which is closely related to all kinds of irresponsible information and rumors. "
some people think that iodized salt is not eaten, and some foods with high iodine content, such as seaweed and seaweed, can satisfy the intake of iodine, but according to Ma Yuqin, it is not enough to eat iodine alone. Jiang Wen, director of the Department of iodine deficiency disease and high iodine prevention and treatment of the Provincial Institute for prevention and control of local diseases, told a reporter that the iodine nutrition level of the population was monitored throughout the year. At present, in the case of 25 mg of iodine per kilogram of iodized salt, the iodine nutrition status of the population in our province was suitable.
