Iodine in trace amount is essential for normal development and function of the brain and maintenance of body heat and energy. Man gets iodine through food and water. Iodine deficiency in a region is characterised by iodine poor soil, less iodine in foods (animal or vegetable origin) and in drinking water, resulting in iodine deprivation of living organism. The major consequences of iodine deficiency are goitre (enlargement of thyroid gland than normal), still birth and miscarriages, mental defect, deaf-mutism, weakness and paralysis of muscles as well as lesser degree of physical and mental function.- Studies on Endemic Goitre and Associated Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD) in a Rural Area of the Gangetic West Bengal
