Answer:

Iodine deficiency can cause hypothyroidism, a condition in which the body can't produce a sufficient amount of thyroid hormones. This deficiency is easy to prevent.

Explanation:

Iodine deficiency can also cause goiter. Our thyroid is the butterfly-shaped gland at the base of our neck. With iodine deficiency, the thyroid will become enlarged, that is called a goiter. This can cause difficulty swallowing and breathing.
