Ministry of Health: down next year, the amount denied iodized salt iodization di
Yesterday, the Ministry of Health responded to the media recently proposed the "iodine excess" of the question. Ministry of Health said the reduction will be due next year, the current Salt Iodine content, while the Ministry of Health believes that there is some kind of thyroid disease associated with salt iodization inference lack of strong evidence is impressive.
After the July 31, the "Nanfang Dushi Bao" organized "Southern Weekly" Publication No. 338 published in the cover article, "salt disease Supremacy," with 14 pages of the depth of coverage, for the first time, "added Iodine excess "was questioned.
Stimulate discussion of media attention 1994, the Chinese government to introduce universal salt iodization policy, and the coastal provinces of Liaoning, Zhejiang, Fujian, Shanghai and other thyroid diseases are also increasing rapidly the last ten years. This year, the number of urban dwellers will target home consumption of iodized salt, iodine concentration that is too high, resulting in an increase in thyroid disease, individual local residents also staged a boycott of the activities of iodized salt.
Domestic media, the "Southern Weekly," the first concern on this matter, sent two reporters from Beijing, Hangzhou and Guangzhou visited to investigate the coastal populations generally increase in the phenomenon of thyroid disease, was published on July 31 entitled "National iodine thyroid under the shadow" reports. Article reflects the coastal part of the public and experts on the national concerns about universal salt iodization, but also reveals the complexity of universal iodine supplementation dispute and the parties point of view.
"Southern Weekly," published reports, has aroused great concern in many domestic media have been involved, TV Taiwan, radio, web and paper media carried a report on this. Ministry of Health denied that iodized pathogenic
Yesterday, the Ministry of Health experts Pastoral in an interview that the current level of iodine nutrition in China is suitable for the whole state, but a few areas have different levels of iodine problem. International Development salt iodization preventing iodine deficiency disorders in the past century of practical experience and the clinical, epidemiological surveys have confirmed that: after salt incidence of iodine induced hyperthyroidism will be a transient increase, but not the incidence of thyroid cancer increased, which improved iodine nutrition does not cause increased incidence of thyroid cancer.
She said, for "some areas of excessive thyroid cancer increased with the salt-related" claim, epidemiological experts from around the world to see, in recent years, including thyroid cancer, including tumors have increased for the majority, but the thyroid pathogenesis of cancer is not clear so far. Therefore, experts believe that there is some kind of thyroid cancer associated with the iodized salt is not sufficient basis for inference, the lack of strong evidence is impressive. On the contrary, intervention can take iodine supplementation to the low malignant transformation of thyroid cancer has been widely recognized.
According to the survey, China has 3098 million people live in iodine areas, as of October 2008, has been in Shandong, Hebei, Jiangsu and six provinces in 647 townships in 82 counties in the region for a suspension of the salt iodine. Adjust the volume of the provinces
iodine Ministry of Health also revealed that the 2005 monitoring results show that the national iodine deficiency disorders: the need for an appropriate reduction in the iodine content of iodized salt, but not significantly lowered, but a slight reduction. To this end, the Ministry has organized several experts argued, initially formed to adjust views, and in 2008 by the Professional Standards Committee for discussion by endemic diseases are being submitted in accordance with procedures Food Additives Professional Standards Committee for examination and then apply for approval to the National Standardization Committee. It is estimated that the adjustment program will be officially announced first half of 2010.
The main elements of adjustment: will the current amount of the appropriate reduction in iodine, greater accuracy, the concentration is more appropriate; if the stable iodine content is not suitable for the actual situation in some provinces, the provincial health administrative departments shall make appropriate an appropriate adjustment to the State after the implementation of the health administration department for record.
