🌍 Global Iodine Deficiency Disorders Prevention Day 🌍

On October 21, 2023, we stand together to raise awareness about the importance of iodine and the prevention of iodine deficiency disorders. It's a day to highlight a critical global health issue and work towards a healthier future for all.

🧘‍♀️ The Power of Iodine 🧘‍♂️ Iodine is an essential trace element that our bodies need to function properly. It plays a crucial role in the production of thyroid hormones, which are essential for regulating metabolism and promoting growth and development, especially in children. Without enough iodine, serious health problems can arise.

🌾 The Global Challenge 🌾 Iodine deficiency remains a significant global health concern, affecting millions of people, particularly in regions with limited access to iodized salt. The consequences can be severe, leading to goiter, intellectual disabilities, developmental delays, and even stillbirths. Together, we can make a difference.

💡 Why Iodine Matters 💡

Iodine deficiency is the world's leading cause of preventable mental and developmental impairments.

It's a silent crisis, often overlooked but with long-lasting impacts on individuals and communities.

The solution is simple: iodized salt, which can be made accessible to all.

🌐 Taking Action 🌐 On this day, let's take action to combat iodine deficiency:

Support initiatives that promote the use of iodized salt.

Advocate for universal salt iodization to ensure that everyone has access to this essential nutrient.

Educate your community about the importance of iodine and the risks of deficiency.

🙏 Empower Change 🙏 By raising awareness about iodine deficiency disorders and taking practical steps to prevent them, we can empower individuals and communities to lead healthier lives and unlock their full potential.

Share this message to create a ripple effect of change, because a world free from the devastating effects of iodine deficiency is a healthier and brighter world for all. 🌟

#WHY is she not a frog yet#what went wrong

So like, the metamorphosis process in amphibians is a whole complex thing but its initiation and progress is pretty straightforwardly reliant on two hormones, thyroxin and prolactin; the first pushing metamorphosis and the second opposing it. As the relative levels change through the tadpole stage, different tissues are affected, hence why tadpoles develop limbs etc. in a specific order.

Anyway, the upshot of this is that if a tadpole has a thyroid hormone deficiency (can be genetic, environmental or a result of physical injury), its body never gets the signal to do things like "grow legs" or "turn into a whole frog". One of the scientists who studied it noted that it's developmental level is basically as if it'd hatched very recently, except that it's huge, so basically it got just past the external gills phase and then just...stopped changing (except in size).

Sadly, Goliath died in 2019 but was still growing at the time of its death. As far as I know they don't know why it died, but it's possible that it was just a matter of it being Too Big for its physiology, that never having been made to support a tadpole that size.
