From a medical and scientific point of view, without any other dimensions or object from my question?
thyroid autoantibodies prevalence in iodine deficient are 13%
sufficient are 18%
excessive are 25 %
iodine prophylaxis in previously iodine deficient areas up to four-fold increase in prevalence of thyroid autoantibodies was demonstrated after the exposure to higher iodine intake
my question what are the opinion about the prophylaxis program?
give me the opposite view, positive side as possible as
Hello, Despite the increase in antibody positivity that you mention, prophylaxis programs are fundamental to eradicate adverse obstetric consequences and cognitive detriment in the offspring especially in areas of severe insufficiency. Regards

Liliana Bergoglio dear doctor i aimed to evaluated the advantage vs disadvantage from viewpoint of economic and clinical burden.
to make criteria of iodine urine estimation obligatory in future in country follow frustration of salt.
Dear Kaled, I am sorry. The previous answer contains mistakes or typos. I will answer in a new one.
I strongly believe that iodization programs whether in salt, bread, or prenatal pills should be mandatory to achieve the intake required by the world health organization even though these programs especially with the iodization of salt may be insufficient from the clinical point of view, or be controversial in areas of mild or moderate deficiency. This is critical in pregnant women, whatever the economic impact.
I aspire to reach complete impartiality in this topic to find out who is better to continue applying for the program or is harmful to cause autoimmune diseases
to be bigger?
let us evaluate the advantage and disadvantages in a number of percents based on articles and the latest conference.
I know it is somewhat hard, but the question arises from reading about this topic
with the best regard to you doctor.
I think proper iodization would not be related to autoimmune disease. What is certain is that more than adequate or excessive intake of iodine, expressed as iodurias greater than 500 mcg / L can- in predisposed individuals- (who already have positive antibodies) cause hyperthyroidism.
You are welcome! I will try to find the proper articlre and send you .
