Abstract
The incidence of endemic goiter has been reduced almost to nil since iodized salt has been so widely used. No subject showed the slightest ill effects from the use of iodized salt. Toxic nodular goiter and diffuse goiter are less apt to occur when there has been no previous enlargement of the gland, such as occurs in endemic goiter.Keywords
