Breast Cancer And Iodine Deficiency

     The breasts are one of the body's main storage sites for iodine. In an iodine deficient state, the thyroid gland and the breasts will compete for what little iodine is available, which  will leave the thyroid gland and the breasts iodine depleted thus could set the stage for illnesses such as goiter, hypothyroidism, autoimmune thyroid illness, and  breast illnesses including cancer and Cystic fibrosis breast disease. In addition other glandular tissues, such as the ovaries, which contain the second highest concentration of iodine in the body, will also be depleted.

     The connection between iodine deficiency and breast cancer, as well as

Fibrocystic breast disease is strong. Breast cancer (like prostate cancer) is occurring at epidemic rates. Currently one in seven women is affected. Prostate cancer affects one in three men. Although there are numerous reasons for the development of cancer, the research is clear; iodine deficiency is a major piece of the puzzle. Iodine deficiency has also been associated with other cancers,  including ovarian, uterine and thyroid cancer. It is imperative to have your iodine level checked as a part of any
anti-cancer program.
