Iodine is necessary for the thyroid gland to make thyroxine hormone. In case iodine is deficient in our diet, there is a possibility that we might suffer from goitre.
So this is made to compensate the lack of iodine, normally affecting people that live far from the sea and not eating enough fish and other seafood that contains natural iodine.
Iodine deficiency can also produce mental retardation and is a global problem. Excessive use of table salt (NaCl) is also harmful, so a balanced seafood diet is better against mental and other malnutrition problems
