Iodine and Pregnancy

Iodine is absolutely critical in pregnancy.  The major iodine deficiency diseases -- such as cretinism -- are associated with low iodine during pregnancy.

In Utero.

Breast Feeding.

Iodine is important not only during the pregnancy but also for breast feeding.

The mother's breast contains NIS specifically to import iodide for the milk.

Dorea has researched the various toxins (mercury, lead, goitrogens) and nutrients (iodine, selenium) that are found in mother's milk.

National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and Williams discuss the various toxins found in breast milk.
