When I was a child in the 1940's about one woman in 10 walking down the street had a huge goiter. Food was better and more nutritious then, and there was a massive deficiency of iodine. That is why they started putting iodine in the salt. When they did that, the goiters disappeared.... I never saw a man with one, and don't know if men get them or not..
