Question

deficiency of which mineral causes goiter disease
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Excessive iodine

An excessive amount of iodine can build up in the body as a result of eating too much iodine-rich food. For example seaweed, particularly kelp (a type of brown seaweed that contains many different minerals), is a rich source of iodine. An excess amount of iodine can affect the thyroid gland.

Answer 2

Answer:

The most common cause of goiters worldwide is a lack of iodine in the diet. In the United States, where the use of iodized salt is common, a goiter is more often due to the over- or underproduction of thyroid hormones or to nodules in the gland itself
