Epidemiological aspects of environmental goitrogenesis

Gaitan E

Chapter 12 in Environmental Goitrogenesis by E Gaitan, 1989, pp 161 - 169.

"Seaweeds of species of the general Laminaria have a high content of phloroglucinol and polyhydroxyphenols, some in the form of phloroglucinol polymers (fucophloroethols).  Phloroglucinol and other polyhydroxyphenols, which are potent antithyroid compounds, may play an additional role to that of iodine excess in the development of these goiters."
