Great question! If you are eating well-balance, diverse diet, you’re probably getting enough iodine and don’t need to worry about using iodized salt. Most of the iodized salt I have seen contains other ingredients (e.g. aluminum) that I want to avoid. Sea salt actually contains small amounts of iodine. Other sources of iodine are saltwater fish and seafood, sea vegetables (e.g. nori and kelp), vegetables grown in iodine-rich soil, and dairy products from animals which grazed on plants growing in soils containing iodine.
Curious to know if there iodine in any of these salts? If not, how would I incorporate that into my diet?
