Public health reports exactly 100 years ago were concerned about the amount of goiter in Colorado - not considered part of the goiter belt!
(This is related to women in the history of medicine) 1/8
PUBLIC HEALTH REPORTS VOL. 40 JANUARY 2, 1925 No. 1 ENDEMIC GOITER IN COLORADO By ROBERT OLESEX, Surgeon, United States Public Health Service GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS Colorado, although not generally regarded as being in the so-called goiter belt, has its endemic goiter problem.

According to Doctor Forbes there were 51 cases, or 56 per cent, of goiter among the 91 children examined in this section. The Health Conference, working in other sections of the State, failed to find a similarly high incidence of goiter.
