In a case-control study involving subjects from the Children's Health Study, researchers found: The risk of asthma in children born to mothers with a history of asthma who ate oily fish at least monthly to be 80% less than children whose mothers did not eat fish during pregnancy. However, children born to non-asthmatic mothers did not appear to benefit from the moms eating fish. On the other hand, the study found that for those moms that ate fish sticks during pregnancy—a source of unhealthy trans-fats—the risk of asthma in their children was doubled.

In this study done in Pakistan, it was shown that women with goiter (thyroid enlargement) were more likely to have iron deficiency. They conclude: "It was observed that iron deficiency is prevalent in GFPs (goitrous female patients), so the need of iron supplementation will be required to improve the efficacy of thyroid metabolism in goitrous women." This conclusion is a bit of a stretch, but supports the need to check iron levels in CFS/FMS and hypothyroidism and to address with iron when low.

Researchers in Australia studied women six months after their pregnancy and found that those who had the lowest levels of iodine were four times more likely to have developed hypothyroidism two years later. The researchers followed some of the women for 12 years, and found iodine levels were an excellent predictor of who did and didn’t end up with long term hypothyroidism. Most of those with low levels did, while most of those with normal levels didn’t. Thyroid deficiency from low iodine may sometimes be reversed by simply taking iodine!
