On 30 March 2016, the University of Porto in Portugal will host a seminar on “Iodine and Health”, organized by the Iogeneration project and featuring many national and international experts. The topics to be discussed by three panels will include iodine status in Portugal, iodine needs at various stages of life, as well as iodine supplementation. An important goal of the seminar will be to initiate public debate on the need for public health measures to reduce nutritional inequalities among children in Portugal, in the absence of robust data or relevant food policies.
