In fact, iodine deficiency is the largest preventable cause of learning difficulties in the world. In extreme cases a deficiency can result in congenital thyroid hormone deficiency, historically known as 'cretinism.
The only organization that concentrates on the deficiency of iodine is the International Council for the Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders (ICCIDD). It plays a major role in the promotion and success of Global Iodine Deficiency Day.
