Don't you mean the NYT has caught up to AP and the United Nations? I always find it amusing to see people linking to mainstream liberal media reports on an issue while simultaneously denouncing the mainstream liberal media for being too chicken to report on that issue (you're by no means the only one who does this).

I think it's funny that they put "cretinism" in quotes. This is as if to say "Hey, we would never call anyone a 'cretin'. That's the official UN term". Also, the idea that goiter leads to cretinism is wrong. Iodine deficiency in young children can cause cretinism. Iodine deficiency (mostly in adults) causes goiter.

I spent some time working in a hospital in Sierra Leone, and iron deficiency is a huge problem there. Most people are loaded with hookworm, which causes intestinal bleeding, the amount varying with parasite load. After years of being infected, and without enough iron in the diet to replace the lost hemoglobin, patients become very anemic, with the listlessness and weakness that goes with it. Of course there's little decent medical care in Sierra Leone, but when they got to our hospital, iron tablets were prescribed for probably a majority of patients. Some even got iron injections. It's hard to imagine the difficulty in going to work in the fields every day when burdened with iron deficiency anemia.

Ideally, I'd be against supplementing.
"iodine deficiency is a feature" (2006/10/24) and "[censored]ing Ad Council" (2006/11/25)

but my idle ruminations can't stack up to mangan's comment.
