- Universal salt iodisation (USI) can lead to an increase of the average intelligence of the entire school age population by as much as 13 points
- Salt iodisation will improve the physical and mental development of millions of people
- The intellectual and cognitive development of whole generations of children will be reduced by around 10% unless adequate iodine is provided.
