If salt is no longer a supplier of iodide, but there is no longer outbreaks of iodine deficiency like goitre, how are we all getting enough iodide in our diets?
In: Biology
A tremendously easy way to get more than enough iodine is to occasionally eat seaweed. It has more iodine per serving than anything else I’ve ever seen.
Well if it worries you, but salt that doesn’t say that.
Normal table salt has it, fancy salt doesn’t.
The UK does not and never has had an iodine supplementation program.
Goitre here was dealt with accidentally through the increasing use of iodine in farming, such that milk now serves as an adequate source of iodine.
Salt still supplies iodide, when you buy regular old – in the paper cylinder, with the pour spout, and the girl in the rain coat.
Just stop buying all that overpriced “pink Himalayan sea salt.”
Well in Australia we get it via our commercially sold bread.
