Whatever you use, make sure that you include iodized salt regularly. Iodine deficiency can result in goitre and hypothyroidism, and brain damage especially in children.

Don’t use fancy salt all the time, it is usually not iodized.

Its not the 19th century anymore. Iodine deficiency is not a serious concern in most civilized countries. Most people can get enough iodine from their diets from dairy/eggs/fish/legumes.

You don’t need iodized salt, go ahead and use fancy salt. If you’re really concerned, take a multivitamin every now and then.

Wtf?

Google “sea salt iodine”

I buy providing sources for esoteric or new information, but this has been known since probably the 1800s.

We live near the sea, eat plenty of seafood, and iodized salt tastes nasty.

Packed with trace minerals is a new oxymoron for me.

Flaked sea salt actually dissolves slower, not faster than standard table salt on account of its larger crystals!

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.
