After 27 years of universal iodization, the incidence of thyroid cancer in China has been high. Is it all caused by iodized salt? Should I still eat?

The high incidence of thyroid cancer is not only caused by iodized salt, but should be eaten. Salt is an indispensable condiment in life. In fact, it can not only adjust the taste of food, but also help to supplement the nutrients needed in the body, among which iodine is the most critical, because iodine can not be synthesized by itself in the body, and can only be supplemented by food or iodized salt.

The high incidence of thyroid cancer is not the fault of iodized salt. In the era of material scarcity, everyone's diet is very single, so many people can't get iodine. When iodine is not enough, it will lead to some problems in the organs of the body, the most obvious of which is thyroid disease. For example, goiter, that is, thick neck. But also affect fertility problems and cretinism. Then the iodine contained in salt is very important, and it can prevent diseases caused by shortcomings well.

Therefore, the best way to prevent this kind of disease is to eat iodized salt, not only at home but also abroad. At present, the incidence of thyroid cancer is high, and everyone is concerned about iodized salt, thinking that it is caused by iodized salt. In fact, it is not clear what causes thyroid cancer, because there are many situations, such as heredity, eating habits, hormone problems and so on. It is also possible that after suffering from thyroid disease, treatment is not timely.

Do you want to eat iodized salt? Because iodine can't be synthesized and stored in the body, you must get it through food. Perhaps many people think that if you can get it from food, you can eat salt without iodine. Although this statement is true, not all foods contain iodine. In fact, most iodine-containing foods are in seafood, but people can't eat seafood every day.

If we can control the intake of iodized salt every day, we can ensure that there is no shortage of iodine in the body, so the cause of thyroid cancer has nothing to do with eating iodized salt. And if you have thyroid disease, you should eat non-iodized salt, otherwise, it will make the disease worse. If you want to stay away from thyroid cancer, you should stay away from unhealthy diet in your life and not be angry often, because people who are always grumpy have a high probability of suffering from thyroid disease.

Finally, I would like to remind you that it is best to have a general physical examination every year, especially thyroid examination, which cannot be ignored. If you find thyroid nodules, you must listen to the doctor's advice, treat them well, and then check them regularly, so that you can control the disease well, and then it will not get worse and thyroid cancer will not happen. In short, don't choose non-iodized salt easily. It is necessary to eat iodized salt.
