This is a good story.
Quote:
...Narration: Iodine deficiency has re-emerged as a problem in Australia, since the late 1990s. Before that, the dairy industry used iodine to clean milking equipment. We got enough iodine from what's called positive contamination: traces of iodine in our milk. But the iodine has recently been replaced by chlorine.
So Cres and Mu have been trying to find out the extent of the problem in Australia. They have tested thousands of school children, revealing that a staggering 50% suffer from some degree of iodine deficiency.
They do urinary iodine tests...
