One of the reasons for iodine to be a part of a balanced diet would be:
| 1. | Iodine is needed for an enzyme that facilitates the synthesis of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). |
| 2. | The thyroid gland cannot produce thyroxine without iodine, which leads to the goiter condition. |
| 3. | Iodine is necessary for the proper functioning of the thyroid, adrenals and pancreas. |
| 4. | The iodine is needed for positive feedback to the hypothalamus and the anterior pituitary to stimulate the thyroid to produce more thyroxine. This in turn prevents the goiter condition. |
