Goitre Remedy Suggested By Agricultural Research
Dr J W Turrentine of the US Department of Agriculture told the American Chemical Society meeting in Los Angeles that about half of girls from New York to the Rockies show incipient goitre and the condition could be checked by a daily iodine portion of four millionths of an ounce. Seaweed provides the iodine with about one thousandths of an ounce of dry algae, while the same amount can be consumed by eating oysters, sea fish, freshwater fish, eggs, lettuce, milk, and wheat in specified quantities.
