A member asked:
Is there any connection between diet soft drink and thyroid/parathyroid disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: I actually did not know about this. Apparently, the low ph of the diet soda causes an iodine leaching process in the body, which then deprives the thyroid gland of adequate amounts of iodine to synthesize a comparatively adequate amount of thyroid hormone.
