GOITRE AND IODISED SALT – GENERAL INFORMATION
Example goes to show that not everything that is meant to be good for us is necessarily good or safe for everyone. Indeed, it is incomprehensible how this salt can be offered as something that is wholesome for everyone without distinction. It should be recommended only for those whose complaint has been diagnosed as hypothyroidism, never for people with an excessive secretion of thyroid hormones, who cannot tolerate iodine.
Of course, it is an undisputed fact that a deficiency of iodine plays a part in the development of goitre, for the thyroid needs iodine for its normal function and development. But it can be found in sufficient quantity and an easily assimilated form in the food we eat, provided our diet consists of wholefoods. Such foods cause no disturbances or damage. However, if you throw away the edible skins from fruits, and vegetables, apple cores, the outer layer of cereals, such as bran, in short, anything that is part of the naturally grown whole, then you will sooner or later have a mineral deficiency. This includes, of course, a lack of iodine, which ultimately will encourage the development of goitre. Instead of recommending the use of iodised salt, it would be far better to educate people to give up eating white flour, refined sugar, canned foods and all other products of our ‘civilised’ way of feeding, and eat only nutritive natural wholefoods.
