In areas where there is little iodine in the diet, typically remote inland areas and semi-arid equatorial climates where no marine foods are eaten, iodine deficiency gives rise to hypothyroidism, symptoms of which are extreme fatigue, goiter, mental slowing, depression, weight gain, and low basal body temperatures.
Lack of iodine can cause several disorders including: 1  Goiter: a severely enlarged thyroid gland that appears as a large mass on the neck. 2  Stillbirth and infant death. 3  Permanent cognitive impairment. 4  Stunted growth. 5  Deaf-mutism. 6  Cerebral palsy.
