Iodine Maps

McClendon

Iodine and goiter with especial reference to the far east.

McClendon, JF

1933

"In a study of goiter around the world, Japan was the only nongoitrous country that was found, there being about one goiter per million Japanese. The iodine intake of the Japanese is very high and certainly more than double that of any other peoples, as seaweed is a constant constituent of their diet and seaweed has about 1000 times as much iodine as any other food. An analysis of the iodine content of 79 species of seaweed from fourteen localities on the coast is given."
