Answer:
Sources
of iodine: The best sources of iodine are sea foods and cod liver oil. A smaller
amount of iodine occurs in milk, leafy vegetables, cereals and meat, etc.
Iodised salt contains sufficient amount of iodine.
Prevention and control of goitre: It can be prevented by
providing iodine in the diet in the form of iodised salts, such as potassium
iodate and potassium iodide. These can be added in drinking water or in common salt
used daily.
Intra-muscular injection of iodised oil or sodium iodide
tablets developed by Indian Council of Medical Research is quite effective in
curing goitre.
