Here is a very complete monograph:

http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/infocente...tml#deficiency

There would be goiter I would think in adults with low iodine.

I use sea kelp which has 150mcg/tablet fairly often, because my hypothyroid in the past was a goiter on the right lobe and I don't use iodized salt. (I do not salt food and most commercial salt is non-iodized). I use the kelp more in winter than warm months and it seems to help.

Beware of high iodine intake... this monograph suggests hyperthyroidism may result.
