Here's what I think: All Americans eat a lot of wheat products. Wheat is sprayed with bromine, which stays on the wheat and is ingested. The bromine is the same family of elements as iodine. The excessive bromine attaches to the iodine receptors in the thyroid. People do not get enough iodine, generally. So, the outcome of this is thyroid dysfunction.
