Abstract: The iodine content of Finnish foods was analysed and the average daily intake of iodine estimated according to national food consumption statistics. The average calculated intake was 340 micrograms/d/person, although an extensive seasonal variation was found in the estimate for the summer season (280 micrograms) and for the winter season (400 micrograms). The intake is from 4 to 5 times greater now than it was in the mid 1950's, when endemic goitre was common in Finland. The most significant sources of iodine in the average Finnish diet are dairy products, which also cause the seasonal variation in intake. Iodized table salt and eggs are other important sources. The present level of intake can be considered adequate and the further intensification of prohylactic practices with iodine unnecessary.

The distribution and transformations of iodine in the environment
TL;DR: Iodine in the atmosphere is derived largely from seawater as discussed by the authors, and it is probable that the biological production of methyl iodide is important in this transfer, but the magnitude of these processes is difficult to assess.

TL;DR: First-trimester antibody positivity is a risk factor for perinatal death but not thyroid hormone status as such, and Thyroid dysfunction early in pregnancy seems to affect fetal and placental growth.

Iodine content of food groups
TL;DR: In this article, isotope dilution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry using the enriched long-lived nuclide 129I was used to analyze the iodine content of several kinds of foods representing different product groups available on the Swiss market.

A review of iodine toxicity reports.
TL;DR: It is concluded that some individuals can tolerate very high levels of iodine with no apparent side effects and that iodine intakes less than or equal to 1.000 mg/day are probably safe for the majority of the population, but may cause adverse effects in some individuals.
