My great great grandfather died and is listed as #9 on the page. The cause of death begins "hals" so something about his throat. Would anyone else take a stab as what the ailment was?
Yes. A diet of fish 2-3 times a week and a daily intake of milk products would cover the need for iodine. Thus; this desease was very rare along the Norwegian coast, where fish was the main diet. The diet for Peder Olsen in Norderhov however, did probably not contain much fish...
