At the UK meeting of the Iodine Global Network (IGN) held on March 17, 2016, several issues about iodine deficiency in the UK were discussed.
This included the role of iodine in pregnancy, the issue of mild-to-moderate iodine deficiency in the UK, and how pregnant women with normal thyroid function living in this environment unknowingly place their children at risk of neurodevelopmental disorders and learning disabilities.
