People who don't eat bread and eggs and only drink almond or soy milk are at risk of being iodine deficient.
2 May 2018
Dietitians have issued a warning about the importance of eating iodine-rich foods as dairy-free milk alternatives, such as almond milk, increase in trend.
Cow's milk is a source of iodine, containing a bit over 22 micrograms in a standard serve.
While cow's milk is not the only source of iodine its absence in the diet could be contributing to iodine deficiency and a greater awareness is needed.
