tl;dr This is the most common and easiest to prevent deficiency so just use the iodized salt.

Yes. Buying pink meme salt is retarded since it isn't iodized.

tl;dr just use the normal iodized table salt. This is the most common and easiest to prevent deficiency, just fucking use the iodized salt.

Why the fuck would you go out of your way to pick non-iodized salt? All that effort put into keeping you from goiters and the number one most common cause of literal mental retardation and you still manage to find a way around it? Just buy normal salt, faggot.

What? You're aware iodine deficiency and goiter don't normally kill you, right? You don't "need" it in the sense you need water and oxygen to not die. You just really wouldn't want to not have it because it'll give you a bunch of easily preventable and not very pleasant health problems.

There *might* be a small amount of naturally occurring iodine, but it'll be less than the amount you need to prevent shit like goiters and deficiency induced retardation if you aren't already happening to eat foods that have lots of iodine content in them (and a lot of people aren't with some six hundred million bad enough to display obvious symptoms like goiters growing on their neck).

>fatty
Where do you keep getting weight as an issue here? Are you under the impression only fat people use table salt? I'm Mahatma Gandhi hungry skelly mode, so I'm guessing the real fatty here is either yourself or else your past self before you figured out how to stop eating so much and you're just projecting.
>most people who eat healthy do just fine without it
>most people
>who eat healthy
So not only are you suggesting it isn't a problem unless more than 50% of the world population have it, but you're going even further and saying it has to be more than 50% of the world population "who eats healthy." Do you realize how ridiculously stupid the place you've moved your goalposts to is? How many serious medical problems are currently afflicting more than 50% of the world population, let alone 50% of the world population after filtering out anyone who isn't eating a "healthy diet?" The answer is none, which is the sort of conclusion I normally wouldn't feel the need to spell out except that I'm trying to explain this to someone who might literally be brain damaged from iodine deficiency.
And yeah, only 655 MILLION people have iodine deficiency to the point of endemic goiter, great job thinking this through you absolute retard.

Do you know why they call goiter caused by iodine deficiency "endemic?" Go look that word up and then never post here again.
