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.
I want to downvote but I won't.
Do your research. Both sea salt and iodine have nutritional value and are required for specific parts of the body to function properly.
Sea salt for minerals for all of your organs, and iodine specifically for thyroid function. Did you know sea salt is beneficial for getting your digestive system up and running in the morning? Did you know that iodine can help if you have chronic dry skin or brain fog (which are symptoms of thyroid disfunction)?
I put sea salt in my coffee every morning. If i dont, I get constipation. Yes I also eat fruit and take digestive enzymes, but the salt helps alot and gently.
I take 3 drops of iodine in water every morning. If I don't, the skin on my legs is extremely dry.
Find what works for you. One thing might not work for you the same way that it works for me. Don't just tell people that one thing doesn't work. Do your own research!
