Thyroid Disorders and Iodine Deficiency are on the increase, with 1 in 7 Australians affected by some form of thyroid disorder, including Thyroid Cancer.
At least 50% of children, pregnant and lactating women are iodine deficient. Without an adequate daily intake of iodine, the thyroid gland will not make enough thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormones are essential for the developing brain. This deficiency can affect the brain development of the foetus and newborn with children unable to reach their full potential.
With your help, The ATF will launch a National Educational Program to ensure all Australians are aware of the importance of The ATF Good Thyroid Health messages.
We look forward to discussing the many different opportunities available to work together in ensuring the ATF achieves it’s goal, the Australian community is educated about the Benefits of Good Thyroid Health and your sponsorship is recognised nationally.
