Kamidi, who lives near Mount Merapi in Java, is three foot tall and has the tell-tale signs associated with cretinism: low hair line, bulging eyes, stunted growth - all associated with iodine deficiency. Across the world, there are two billion people at risk from iodine deficiency. Apart from the classic symptoms of goiters and cretinism, it also leads to still births and underweight babies, and lowers the IQ of sufferers. World Bank figures estimate that up to five percent of global GDP is lost because of the lack of micronutrients like iodine deficiency.
