Which may be why so many of our children and young people who are diagnosed with ADD and ADHD? And why is that our health system to pay so little attention to nutrition and biochemistry?
And we as parents indoctrinated and dependent on advances in medicine have become, we forget the importance of nutrition? An iodine supplements may be useful for the physical and psychological well-being and development of our children and young people?
Here is just amany studies in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, published in 1990. Two thirds of children born in iodine-deficient area of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) had, while none of the children came from an area of iodine sufficient for interference. In addition to ADHD, these children had an IQ 20 points lower than that of controls. The researchers believe that iodine deficiency causes neuro-motor defects and reduced cognitive ability.
NaturallyThis study selected a population, the products in a region where the bottom of iodine consumed planted was eaten. Most of us are not islands, with a narrow field of choice to live, but we need to eat foods from other parts of our country and the world, with little knowledge of its content of iodine. It 'very likely that the increased production of iodine deficiency in the soil and that we all suffer from some degree of iodine deficiency has increased.
Iodine and iodide deficiency has also spentone generation to the next. It 'a known fact that in the last three months, the breast of a woman in the number of special channels that actively absorbs iodine and iodide, are such that breast-feeding or taking care of these important trace elements to increase transmitted to the newborn.
These first six months of life outside the womb is particularly important for the development of the baby's brain and iodine is known to play an important role. Every doctor knows the conditionof cretinism in children, which is a serious compression of the brain and body development of iodine deficiency. I believe that iodine deficiency is degrees and is increasing the number of our children, characterized by the doctors to resist.
The New York Times, 1996, and our World Health Organization (1996) "Iodine deficiency mental retardation, to 50 million children around the world that makes 10 million of which in China," estimates 2 billion people suffer from Iodine deficiencyDiseases.
Overlooking one of the most popular infant formulas, Enfamil for 5 oz serving contains 10 mcg of iodine. Our U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), although work on the false premise of 150 mcg of iodine than adequate for the health, provides a list of dietary recommendations for infants and iodine is 110 mcg. I think this is a daily minimum requirement. So you can see that if a child is not breastfed, are deficient in iodine andsuffer long-term consequences psychological and physical.
It 'also interesting to note that USDA has raised its recommendation of iodine for breastfeeding women of 150 mcg 220 mcg.
Among other things, the USDA also noted that their "tolerance after taking" (TUI), which probably means taking the amount of a nutrient that a person called without inflicting damage. For women who are breastfeeding to 2,000 mcg or 2 mg of iodine and is for children aged between 4 and 8 of the TUI 300 mcg. TUI toThe baby has not been determined. Incidentally, I wonder how you ever found a dose of 300 mcg of iodine for children.
The epidemic of children and adolescents with ADD and ADHD can be diagnosed in part to the lack of iodine? Absolutely.
They pediatricians, psychiatrists and other physicians with attention to the needs of our children for these two all important trace elements? In most cases, no.
What a shame that our society has become so complacent and so far from ourConnection to the earth. Certainly a lot more value put on a diet and consumption of organic foods bring some degree of certainty, but, I truly believe that not only based on the food needed by the body and mind with the level of iodine and iodide we maximize health.
It 's time to rethink who is really responsible for the health of our children and young people. It comes to us.
