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.
A teaspoon of iodized salt contains 400 micrograms of iodine. Since non-iodized salt containsno iodine, it may be used freely on this diet. Foods that usually contain little if any iodine include: most vegetables (except potatoes andsome types of beans), fruits, most beverages (except milk), and plain fats and oils.
