What is the impact of insufficient iodine in milk powder?

What is the impact of insufficient iodine in milk powder? The Hong Kong Centre for Food Safety said yesterday that it had sampled 14 formula milk powder samples from the local market and found that 6 of them had lower iodine levels than required. Two of the “Waguangtang” and “Moriyo” newborn baby formulas, if fed as recommended, will have an iodine intake that is less than one-third that recommended by the World Health Organization and may affect infant thyroid function and even brain development.

Many people's familiarity with iodine comes from salt. For the lack of iodine milk powder, many parents may be confused. Xiao Bian will spread the knowledge about iodine content and the harm of iodine deficiency for everyone, and hopes to attract the attention of parents.

What is iodine?

Iodine is an essential trace element in the human body (including all animals). It is one of the halogen elements. Iodine has the weakest chemical activity in halogen elements, but it can still be directly combined with most elements, and it is widely present in nature in the form of compounds. .

Iodine deficiency

Fetal period

1. Miscarriage, stillbirth, congenital malformations, increased perinatal mortality, increased infant and child mortality; 2. Local cretinism; 3. Development of neuromotor deficits; 4. Fetal hypothyroidism

Neonatal period

Neonatal hypothyroidism, neonatal goiter

Childhood and adolescence

Goiter, adolescent hypothyroidism, subclinical cretinism, mental retardation, physical development disorders, deafness

Adult period

Goiter and its complications, hypothyroidism, mental retardation, iodine-induced hyperthyroidism

From the above, we can see that iodine has an important influence on the growth and development of infants and young children. The iodine deficiency episode of milk powder should be brought to the attention of relevant parents. Parents can bring infants who have had problematic formulas to the hospital for blood tests to ensure the health and safety of infants and young children.
