However, in modern biochemical studies of metabolic diseases we have learned that there is frequently a correlation of various factors in a state of equilibrium. For some time iodine deficiency was stressed as a cause of goiter. During the past century there have been occasional references to the importance of calcium in the water supply as a cause of thyroid disease. Again other investigators have ascribed an important rôle to bacterial...Bibliography1. THOMPSON J: Influence of the intake of calcium on the thyroid gland of the albino rat, Arch.
