轻度缺碘是澳大利亚和新西兰公认的问题。然而，碘过量会导致某些婴儿甲状腺功能减退症。我们重点介绍两个案例，说明怀孕和哺乳期间膳食碘摄入过量的风险。他们还描述了一种通过食用海藻汤来促进母乳供应的文化习俗。尽管最近最受关注的是澳大利亚饮食中碘不足的问题，但相反的情况也不容忽视。盛宴和饥荒都不可取。
Mild iodine deficiency is a recognised problem in Australia and New Zealand. However, iodine excess can cause hypothyroidism in some infants. We highlight two cases which illustrate the risks of excess dietary iodine intake during pregnancy and breastfeeding. They also describe a cultural practice of consuming seaweed soup to promote breast milk supply. Although most attention recently has been on the inadequacy of iodine in Australian diets, the reverse situation should not be overlooked. Neither feast nor famine is desirable.
