Will excessive iodine intake have a negative effect?

When I was pregnant, I particularly liked to eat laver, but my husband asked me not to eat more. He said that excessive intake of iodine will have a negative effect. Is this true?

    If pregnant women eat edible oil, there is no need to add iodine specifically. Under the premise of eating iodized salt, pregnant women's iodine intake is very sufficient. Therefore, pregnant women do not need to deliberately eat more kelp, seaweed, wakame and other foods containing large amounts of iodine. In recent years, studies have pointed out that excessive iodine intake will have a negative impact on health.
