How Breast Cancer and Iodine Deficiency is Connected.
How common is breast cancer? About 13% (about 1 in 8) of U.S. women will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime. In recent years, breast cancer rates have steadily increased.
One of the major reasons this could be occurring is an iodine deficiency. The World Health Organization stated, iodine deficiency affects 72% of the world’s population.
Iodine Deficiency is Linked to Breast Cancer
Cancer occurs when cells are growing uncontrollably, also known as Neoplasia (or tumors), and iodine might be a great way to stop these cells from growing because iodine has been shown to slow the growth of both malignant and benign cancers, and this can help explain the low incidence of breast cancer in Japanese women, who have a great deal of iodine in their diet, from consuming seaweed. (1)
Also, consuming iodine might even be an effective way to treat some forms of cancer, and helping your body repair damaged cells. For example, iodine supplements have been used to treat or prevent Fibrocystic breast disease that can increase your chances of developing breast cancer in the future. (2)
Other Risks of an Iodine Deficiency
In addition to a higher risk of breast and thyroid cancers, there are some other risk factors associated with low iodine levels. First, pregnant women should be sure to monitor their iodine levels, which is essential to ensuring that their children are born healthy. Sadly, there is research to suggest that iodine deficiency in pregnancy can affect the mental development of the fetus, causing mental retardation (3).
In a clinical study, Dr. David Brownstein found that more than 96% of the 5,000 American patients he tested were iodine deficient. For this reason, pregnant women should be sure to be tested for iodine levels, and consider taking supplements.
Who Can Benefit From Iodine?
Iodine is an essential mineral that everyone needs and chances are, you’re not getting enough from a healthy diet alone. A study in 1998 showed that women are actually at the biggest risk of an iodine deficiency, which can increase their chances of getting diseases like breast and thyroid cancer. Iodine supplementation is also especially important for young women because of significant changes to the breasts during the puberty process. By getting adequate levels of iodine each day, new breast tissue can grow healthy. (4)
Urinary iodine levels in young women have been dropping since the 1970's, when iodine was removed from foods, like bread, and was replaced with bromine. Bromine is a toxic chemical which competes with iodine inside the thyroid making it difficult for the thyroid to utilize iodine. Bromine can exacerbate an iodine deficiency. (5)
