Better answer. I agree. I don't take iodine as a regular thing, so it wouldn't occur to me to rely on table salt. Too much iodine, and you notice a rather sludgy feeling in the body. Not comfortable. I once ate crab that must have been high in iodine and wound up feeling like my blood was sewage. I concluded I must have become allergic to crab and swore it off for several years. Then I had a body scan using radio-iodine. When they injected it, I felt the same sensation. Hurrah! I could eat crab again. (The local Dungeness crab is the best in the world.)
