thyroid.about.com — “American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists recommends narrowing the normal reference range for the TSH -- thyroid stimulating hormone -- test to 0.3 to 3.0.

It would also mean that the number of people in the U.S. who are hypothyroid could be double previous estimates.” View full resource at thyroid.about.com
