The Claim
Thyroid tissue concentrations of iodine, selenium, and zinc in patients with thyroid disease are generally within previously reported reference ranges, despite marginal deficiencies in iodine and selenium at the population level.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In people with thyroid disease, the levels of iodine, selenium, and zinc in thyroid tissue are typically within the range seen in earlier studies, even though the general population may have slightly low levels of iodine and selenium.

What the research says
1 studyEven when people don’t get enough iodine or selenium in their diet, their thyroid glands still manage to keep normal levels of these important minerals—like a savings account that stays full even when the bank account is low.
