People who consume seafood generally do not suffer from goiter because seafood is rich in iodine, which is necessary for the production of thyroid hormones. When iodine is insufficient, the thyroid enlarges, leading to goiter. Consuming iodine-rich foods, including seafood, helps prevent this condition.
