Answer
Solution:
Usage of iodized salt is advisable to avoid the deficiency of iodine. If the intake of iodine is low, the release of thyroxine from the thyroid gland will be decreased. This affects fat, carbohydrate and protein metabolism. Thus, a person may have goitre if the intake of iodine is lowered.
