  A noticeable increase in thyroid disorders (mostly Hashimoto disease in women) in East Europe has always been attributed to the Chernobyl disaster.

  It is now disputed whether it is a direct effect, or could it have been caused by mass-administered Lugol's iodine.

  In Poland, some 18 million people, mostly children drank Lugol's iodine when the contamination was discovered.

  • Could be also the effect of better screeningdrgs
  • That said, I always suspected the attribution was somewhat anecdotal.raf
