I usually buy the salt that says “this salt supplies iodide a necessary ingredient.” But yesterday I accidentally bought one that says “this salt does not supply iodide..” which always makes me wonder… if iodide is a necessary nutrient why would salt be sold without it.. and explicitly state that ???
Anyways, I’m basically wondering if it’s bad enough that I should go out and buy the salt that supplies iodide. I know it’s not a life or death ordeal but I’m just now beginning my ✨caring about what I put in my body✨ journey so if this salt will only give me all the bad components of salt without any good ones, I’ll go get another one.

Iodine in salt isn’t natural. We added it because it solves the issue that a lot of people don’t get enough from their food. If you’re eating a nice amount of seaweeds and fish there’s a good chance you are getting enough Iodine already. It’s possible to get too much Iodine as well. Also some people don’t trust things getting added to their food so there’s a market for plain salt.
Most people should get the Iodized salt. If you have a good reason to, get the non-iodized salt. Also like most food, non-iodized salt contains good components but too much of something good can be bad. Just like too much sodium is bad we could for example also overdose on calcium if you took too much.
