During a breakfast event at the #EuropeanParliament, on March 25, with the support of #IodineCoalitionEurope, Joyce Green, Senior Advisor, Iodine Global Network, will give an overview of the findings of the WHO-IGN Report. WHO-IGN report: ign.org #iodine #HaDEA

Consuming cow's #milk and #dairy products is crucial for #pregnant and #lactating women, as #iodine deficiency is associated with cognitive effects in the developing child. Policy and practice should reflect the role of dairy products in providing #nutrients for health. #HaDEA

TFI, leader of Work Package 5 in the #EUthyroid2 project, took part in the breakfast event at the #EuropeanParliament to discuss challenges and solutions to ensure that all Europeans have access to adequate #iodine #nutrition. In the picture, Linda Henderson and Anna Bokor, TFI.

Cyprus University of Technology with Secondary Education, Health Education Inspection Office of the Ministry of Education, Sports, and Youth, held a train the trainers meeting with teachers from 20 secondary schools that will conduct educational #interventions on #iodine. #HaDEA

Himalayan salt is not iodised. If used as a substitute for #iodisedsalt, Himalayan pink salt could contribute to iodine deficiency. It is crucial to prioritise health over trends. Iodised salt is the simplest method to ensure enough #iodine intake. #adolescents #health #HaDEA

As WHO highlights, the public health goals of reducing salt and increasing #iodine intake by salt #iodisation are compatible, as iodine in salt can be adjusted. Iodised salt is an effective way to ensure enough daily iodine and help #children achieve their full potential. #HaDEA

Today is World Hormone Day, and we want to raise awareness of the importance of hormone health. Iodine is essential for the production of maternal and fetal thyroid hormone. As it is a key component of thyroid hormone, iodine is crucial before and during pregnancy. #iodine #HaDEA

Pregnant women need a higher iodine intake than other people. Because the brain development of the fetus begins a few days after conception, women who plan to get pregnant should make sure to have sufficient daily iodine intake. #iodine #pregnant #PreventionIsKey #HaDEA

EUthyroid2 interventions target adolescents and young people, important periods for establishing healthy dietary habits and nutritional awareness. Early awareness of the importance of #iodine for health can reduce the risk of iodine deficiency during future pregnancies. #HaDEA

Happy #EuropeDay! Today, at #EUthyroid2, we celebrate #collaboration across the continent and beyond. As a health #research project, EUthyroid2 aims to develop best-practice models to inform adolescents and young women about the importance of iodine for their health. #HaDEA

Beate Bartès, Secretary TFI, takes part in the Joint Congress of ESPE and ESE in Copenhagen, Denmark, where the global endocrinology and pediatric endocrinology community has gathered to share knowledge, insights, and experiences.

As International Thyroid Awareness Week (May 25-31) is approaching, we want to raise awareness about the link between thyroid function and iodine intake. Iodine nutrition is an important determinant of thyroid function worldwide. #InternationalThyroidAwarenessWeek #HaDEA

Iodine is a micronutrient required at all stages of life, fetal life and childhood being the most critical phases of requirement. Normal diets do not contain enough iodine, resulting in iodine deficiency. Iodised salt is a simple method to ensure enough iodine intake. #HaDEA

Iodine deficiency may cause development and maturation issues of all the tissues of the body, especially those that are fast developing, e.g. brain. As normal diets may not contain enough iodine, iodised salt is an effective method to ensure enough iodine intake. #iodine #HaDEA

Himalayan pink salt is getting popular. However, Himalayan pink salt is not iodised, and many consumers are not aware of this. It is important to prioritize health over trends. Iodised table salt is the simplest method to ensure a daily adequate iodine intake. #iodine #HaDEA

How to transform schools into health-promoting schools? EUthyroid2 is conducting educational interventions in schools in 6 study regions to educate about the role of iodine for brain development, growth, and metabolism, and the main dietary iodine sources. #nutrition #HaDEA
