Unborn Babies are Affected by Iodine Deficiency

The headline should capture your ideal readers' attention and include your best keyword.
The World Health Organization is becoming increasingly alarmed by the increase in Iodine Deficiency worldwide.
In most parts of the world mothers-to-be have insufficient iodine levels to pass on the the child whilst in the womb and breast feeding. This results in a lowered IQ in the children.
The cure costs a few cents each month and it doesn't require the aid of a health service.

Sydney, Australia - 15/12/2005 -

The World Health Organization is becoming increasingly aware of the return of Iodine Deficiency at plague proportions worldwide. This is worrying because a little over ten-years ago Iodine Deficiency was almost unheard of the developed world. The biggest area of concern is for pregnant women because iodine deficiency whilst pregnant results in children being born with:

1. Lowered IQ.
2. Poor reasoning powers.
3. Impaired function of Thyroid Glands.

Iodine deficiency can be wiped out at very low cost and without the help of governmental health departments. More of that later.

According to WHO the following percentages of the 2003 population (by region) are affected:

Africa: 42.6%
Americas: 9.8%
S.E. Asia: 39.8%
Europe: 56.9%
Eastern Mediterranean: 54.1%
West Pacific: 35.2%
World total: 35.2% or 1,988,700,000 people. This is a massive figure and it demands urgent action.

Unborn babies rely on drawing iodine from the mother whilst in the womb and after birth from breastfeeding. If you look at the figures above probably 30%+ of pregnant women have insufficient iodine to pass on to their child. - In the worst affected country in the world the IQ of the population rarely exceeds 85, a figure that indicates that nobody can be educated above primary level.

The re-appearance of Iodine Deficiency is caused by a number of developed countries changing from sterilizing milk containers from using iodine solution to using a chlorine solution in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The iodine solution used left a beneficial contamination of iodine sufficient to meet the needs of the body. The cure is to throw away the salt you use at present and replace it with Iodinized Salt. The cost is about 3 cents per month per family more and if you use it as you use plain salt there is no taste difference but massive health benefits. My local supermarket display 29 different salts of which only two are marked "Iodinized Salt" and both were out of sight on the bottom shelf.
