== Nutrition == Iodine, selenium and iron are crucial for normal thyroid hormone function. Thyroid hormones are partially comprised of [[iodine]] and a deficiency of [[iodine]] in the diet can lead to decreased production of these hormones. If left uncorrected the thyroid tissue can enlarge, resulting in a pronounced swelling in the neck, called a 'simple goitre.'<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.uclahealth.org/endocrine-center/thyroid-goiter | title = Thyroid Goiter | last= | first = | authorlink = | date = |website=UCLA Health|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date=2020-10-31}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/001178.htm | title = Simple goiter | last= | first = | authorlink = | date = |website=MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia|language=en|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date=2020-10-31}}</ref> [[Selenium]] is required for the production of deiodinase enzymes, and thus the conversion of T4 to T3. Iron is needed for heme-dependent thyroid peroxidase.
