A member asked:
Have graves' disease, does that mean i should have a diet low in iodine?, because i love salty food and i heard that high iodine foods are bad
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Iodine has little to do with grave's disease. It is an autoimmune disease. Too much salt is not good for you but it is not due to the iodine.
