Look it up. Iodine is an essential nutrient that our thyroid uses to regulate a whole host of things in the body. Eliminating it opens us up to a whole host of illnesses. There was a huge campaign in the 90s to get people to understand the value of iodine and it was put in all our salt so that people wouldn't have to think about taking it and would just get it whenever we salted our food. Iodine is so powerful it can cure people from radiation poisoning. It's anti-parasitic, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial. It's like salting your food with chlorine dioxide or any of the other tons of antiseptic medicines they're trying to keep us from ingesting so they can sell us expensive drug treatments.
I was just at Costco and not a single kind of salt they have there says it's iodized. I thought maybe it was just the sea salt but I checked that huge bag of table salt they have and it doesn't say it's iodized either. I have that in my emergency storage and now I'm starting to think it's practically worthless. Sure, salt is good for you, but there's no question that iodized salt is WAY better for you.
Ditch your fucking sea salt. It says right on the label it doesn't contain iodide/iodine, "an essential nutrient." Get yourself regular old iodized table salt and thank me.
Well, salt in general has been demonized by the dietary authorities for decades. Over the last six months, I've been a strict carnivore. I've lost nearly 60 pounds. I feel better than I've felt in twenty years. Cutting out all sugars, processed foods and seed oils(and eliminating all alcohol) has likely been in equal parts responsible for the amazing improvements I've experienced. Part of the experience of the diet and the resultant deep ketosis, results in a period of mass diuresis. Your body loses a lot of salt/fluids during this phase and without all the added salt we are used to in processed foods you end off with sodium deficits and muscle cramps. The carnivore gurus strongly advise adding salt to taste, particularly if experiencing generalized weakness or cramping. They do often shill for Redmond's Salt, non-iodized and very like Himalayan salt(ancient encapsulated sea that avoids all modern contaminants and micro plastics). Most of these gurus also recommend Lugol's Iodine drops 1 or 2 %. I usually add a few drops to my first drink of the morning, often coffee but I'm trying to cut out the coffee lately. I really do love the flavor of the Redmonds over typical iodized table salt.
