Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid gland, and it can occur due to either too much or too little iodine in the diet. Iodine is necessary for the production of thyroid hormones, and a lack of iodine can cause the thyroid gland to enlarge in an attempt to produce more hormones. Conversely, consuming too much iodine can also cause the thyroid gland to enlarge. Choline supplementation, vitamin A toxicity, and chromium deficiency are not associated with the development of goiter.
