Lack of thyroxine:

  • Yes, if people do not have enough "iodine" in their diet, they will get "goiter" caused by "lack of thyroxine".
  • Iodine is an extremely necessary component of diet because people who don't had enough iodine intake, are not able to synthesize a sufficient amount of thyroid hormone named Thyroxine.
  • This can lead to swelling near thyroid gland very visible near neck area which is sign of iodine deficiency.
