THYROID HEALTH IN CALIFORNIA: This is of special concern for Californians!
A recent study showed that several counties in California had rates of aggressive thyroid cancer that were much higher than typical.
The rates of those with advanced thyroid cancer were:
1. Alpine, Amador and Calaveras (combined): Disease was advanced in 51 percent of those with thyroid cancer
2. Imperial: 48 percent
3. Sutter: 45 percent
4. San Francisco: 41 percent
5. Santa Barbara: 40 percent
Researchers lack a clear explanation but expect pesticide exposure from farmland to be the most likely variable with radon being the other consideration.
