This short report gives a nice summary of the UK situation - including NDNS data on #iodine status. It highlights the risk of low iodine intake in women. For info on diet - use British Dietetic Association fact sheet bda.uk.com/foodfacts/Iodi…

Our new paper in the British Journal of Nutrition shows that consumers of unfortified milk-alternative drinks have a lower #iodine status than cows'-milk consumers. bit.ly/30kwMSF

Great to see #iodine featured in this British Dietetic Association blog. Thanks @julie_abayomi for mentioning our research showing that consumers of milk-alternative drinks (not fortified with iodine) had a low iodine status (cambridge.org/core/journals/…).
