Share to ClassroomStudy: Plant Milk Needs Iodine
Some people drink plant milk. It comes from plants, not cows. A new study looks at this milk. It finds a problem. Plant milk often has very little iodine.
Iodine is good for the body. It helps children grow. It helps the brain, too. Children in Britain get half their iodine from dairy. Most plant milks there have no added iodine.
Many girls and women may not get enough iodine. The scientists want a new rule. They want companies to add iodine to plant milk. A health worker has one more idea. Check the label before you buy.
