“Thyroid hormone levels sufficient for brain development and normal metabolism require a minimal supply of iodine, mainly dietary. Living near the sea may confer advantages for iodine intake. Iodine gas released from seaweeds may, through respiration, supply a significant fraction of daily iodine requirements (Smyth et al., 2011).”
