It is not possible to generalize the good and bad effects on the child of eating non-iodized salt all the time in the 5th month of pregnancy. If the usual diet is rich in iodine, then there is generally no special effect on the child; if the iodine intake in the usual diet is insufficient, then it will be easy to suffer from thyroid-related illnesses, which may affect the child’s development.
If long-term consumption of non-iodized salt and insufficient intake of iodine in the usual diet, then it is easy to lead to insufficient iodine intake, and easy to suffer from iodine deficiency-related diseases, such as goiter.
If the thyroid function is affected, the level of thyroid hormone changes, then it is easy to affect the child’s development, such as thyroid gland abnormalities or slow intellectual development of the child.
Therefore, it is recommended that a normal diet during pregnancy is the best, balanced intake of a variety of nutrients, to achieve a balanced diet, to avoid insufficient intake of nutrients.
