@HealthyFellow @_atanas_ @_INPST @ScienceCommuni2 @DHPSP @shashiiyengar @Mindzatwork @MEATritionCom @BrianLenzkes @FoodLiesOrg @ClausCarlsen1 @realMeetJames @dlifein Finnish soil is iodine deficient and goitre was common in the 20s and 30s of the last century. To alleviate this, voluntary #iodization of table salt was implemented in Finland in 1949. This solved the widespread public health problem.
#salt is the preferred method for #iodine #fortification as it is widely consumed in a constant amount, its production is easy to monitor, #iodization does not cause flavour, appearance changes in salt. Universal Salt Iodization can be implemented at a reasonable cost.#USI #HaDEA
Why is iodine deficiency still an ongoing issue? Catch up on the latest blog from @iodineglobal to find out.

Why does salt iodization matter and how do @WHO Standards help?
"Comparison of Salt Iodization Requirements in National Standards w- Global Guidelines" compared #iodization requirements specified in countries’ salt standards w- WHO 2014 Guidelines on #salt #fortification.
Experiences & Lessons from #USI Programs in Sub-Saharan Africa:
1. Access to iodized salt is inequitable, which could be due to several reasons. Understanding local context is critical #Iodization #Ethiopia
Join us today as we discuss #Ethiopia’s universal salt #iodization program: progress, challenges and the future agenda
Secretary-General of President's Office-Regional Administration & Local Government, Prof. Riziki Shemdoe handed over the documents of transfer for the salt and mineral mixing machines, to the secretary of the Coast Region, Engineer Mwanasha Tumbo #Tanzania #Iodization
Permanent Secretary Ministry of Health Prof. Abel Makubi handing over documents of salt iodization machines to Secretary-General of the President's Office Prof. Riziki Shemdoe for transfer to the Administration Secretaries of Coast, Mtwara & Tanga regions #Tanzania #Iodization
The machines being handed over today will support the #Iodization of about 152,449.3MT from 5 selected District Councils (Tanga, Mkinga, Bagamoyo, Mkuranga, and Mtwara), estimated to be consumed by around 69% of the general population annually #Tanzania @TFNC_TZ @wizara_afyatz

Thanks to #salt and oil #iodization programmes launched in 1960s, #Nepal achieved a tremendous progress in fighting #iodine #deficiency disorders (#IDD)!
The Government is now reviewing the salt iodization standard to prevent risks of excessive intake. https://t.co/3GwuzK1I1T

2/2 But did you know that @WHO recommends both salt reduction and #iodization as compatible and complementary public health strategies? While eating less salt, always choose #iodized!

#Salt #iodization is an effective way to ensure populations get iodine in their diets. @WFP #Sudan is working with industry & government to scale up iodization in Sudan, thanks to support from @EU_SUDAN. #SDG2 #endingmicronutrientmalnutrition #savingliveschanginglives ©Ala Kheir
A fascinating timeline of modern nutrition research. Salt #iodization to prevent iodine deficiency, pioneered in 1920s, predated all other food #fortification programs by 40 yrs so it doesn't fit the pattern! Later steps have been more or less the same.

Wonderful news for pregnant women in Macedonia! A national program is protecting newborns from #iodine #deficiency. #Salt #iodization works. #Stand4Iodine https://t.co/EJe1HYFfXi
