    Iodine deficiency or excessive iodine may cause thyroid disease. Excessive iodine can increase the risk of hyperthyroidism, and it can also transform recessive thyroid autoimmune diseases into dominant diseases. But the vast majority of people in our country consume iodized salt, and the iodine in the iodized salt is a trace amount, which is a basic amount. Therefore, there is no relevant evidence that excessive consumption of iodized salt is directly related to thyroid disease. "
