Abdelouahab et al. Respond to “Maternal PBDEs and Thyroid Hormones”.

The authors respond to a commentary on their article "Maternal PBDEs and Thyroid Hormones" which appeared in a 2013 issue. They react to the question raised by Doctor Jonathan Chevrier concerning the lack of consistency among epidemiological studies on the association of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) with thyroid hormone levels. The authors express their agreement with the arguments on iodine intake.
