That salt, saturated with iodine, is necessary for human health, perhaps everyone knows… However, not every Russian family, as shown by a survey conducted in the country, uses such salt for the good of the body. This can explain the fact that the intelligence of children suffering from iodine deficiency is 10-20 points lower than it should be.
According to doctors, today in the world 2,2 billion people live in areas with iodine deficiency, which is why they suffer from hearing, development, speech and health complications. On the territory of the post-Soviet space, one of the lowest levels of iodized salt consumption in Ukraine. It is purchased and used in food by only 20% of the population.
And according to WHO criteria, doctors remind us, such a product must be on the menu of almost all people (known minimum level of 90%). Only then there will be no iodine deficiency in the country.
