Why are iodine levels so important?

Questions & Answers

The thyroid helps balance hormones, regulate heartbeats, stabilize cholesterol, maintain weight control, encourage muscle growth, keep menstrual cycles regular, provide energy, and even helps you keep a positive mental attitude. Women are naturally prone to iodine deficiencies. That's because the thyroid gland in women is twice as large as in men -- so under normal circumstances, women need more iodine.

What are levels of organization ?

Self-Organizing Systems FAQ for Usenet newsgroup comp.theory...
The smallest parts of a system produce their own emergent properties, these are the lowest 'system' features and form the next level of structure in the system. Those system components then in turn form the building blocks for the next higher level of organization, with different emergent properties, and this process can proceed to higher levels in turn. The various levels can all exhibit their own self-organization (e.g. cell chemistry, organs, societies) or may be manufactured (e.g. See similar questions...

MMvSG: Official Faq
The music addon we have been working on since the start. To save on download time, it has been made a seperate and optional download.
