We know that 1 cup of water weighs 8 ounces, but honey, as an example, is thicker than water, so 1 cup of honey actually weighs in at 12 ounces. Powdered sugar right out of the box or the plastic bag weighs 4 1/2 ounces per cup, so a 1-pound box (or 16 ounces) contains about 3 1/2 cups of powdered sugar. If a recipe calls for sifted powdered sugar, weigh out 4 ounces of sifted powdered sugar to equal 1 dry measuring cup.
Iodine enters the body through iodine-rich foods, including certain salts (âiodized saltâ), eggs, sea vegetables and fish. We rely on iodine to create thyroxine (T4 hormone) and triiodothyronine (T3), two of the main hormones produced by the thyroid that control numerous important functions.
If only part of the thyroid is removed, the remaining gland may still be able to produce enough hormone for the body's needs. Too little iodine in the diet. The thyroid needs iodine to produce thyroid hormone. Your body doesn't make iodine, so you need to get it through your diet. Iodized table salt is rich in iodine. Other food sources of iodine include shellfish, saltwater fish, eggs, dairy products, and seaweed.
