Eric, AFAIK, iodine deficiency can be a problem usually only in vegans.

Seaweeds are not an optimal source because Iodine content can vary widely, possibly being too much and making damage instead of being beneficial. People have had their thyroid damaged by iodine excess.

The other suggestions in the article sound good, like the easiest way to avoid iodine deficiency is to use iodized salt, as cited in the linked article.
