Universal Salt Iodisation Policy I WRITE with reference to the article by K P Aravindan 'Science in Service of Monopolies: Universal Salt Iodisation Policy', (July 8). There are several references to my work in the article, mainly questioning its scientific validity. I am aware that your weekly is truly not the forum to debate issues in Thyroidology. However, as Aravindan chose to make use of EPW to question my work, I am left with no choice but to briefly clarify, through your columns, some of the issues raised.
