Not everything is a conspiracy to sap and impurify your precious bodily fluids. Sometimes people just sell stupid products.

OP is right, you idiot. My deep desire to suck off sweaty homeless men is NOT because I'm some kind of Homosexual delinquent with father issues, but because I'm iodine deficient from eating overpriced salt!

I don't think the salt in junk food is iodized either, iodine is added to table salt specifically because it is used so sparingly in the diet.

> iodized salt
Is this another american retardness alongside flossing?
Those are of no matter in the rest of the civilized world.

>>17488344

Junk food doesn't use iodized salt

>>17488576
Not sure if you're retarded or just iodine deficient. It's a Swiss/German invention.

>>17488373
It's not, otherwise iodine would have to be in the ingredient list.>>17488373

>>17488561
MMmm, salty

>>17488595
>fluoride added in salt?
what the fack

>>17488707
Yes...? Folic acid (B9) as well. Have you never heard of supplementation?

>>17488344
There is no iodine in iodized salt. It just evaporates right out by the time you buy it. Anything besides regular old salt is a scam.

>>17488813
Iodine is solid at room temperature, as is the postassium iodide in iodized salt.
the latter has a boiling point of over 1300 C

>>17488344
I tell every qanon boomer I meet that iodine is toxic in hopes that they'll stop eating it and get a goiter lol

I use himalayan pink salt in all my dishes and there's nothing you can do about it chud.

Actually evaporate anon is correct, iodine does evaporate out, which is why when you look at table salt ingredients it's salt and sugar (or dextrose if they're trying to hide it). The sugar is added to bind the iodine and keep it from evaporating out.

>>17488904
It's actually got trace amounts of radioactive shit in it, which on the whole isn't good for you. Avoid meme salts.

>>17489535
It doesn't evaporate, it oxidizes and loses potency. The sugar slows the oxidation.

>>17489538
great can't wait for my super powers

>>17488344
It's a dollar everywhere I've seen it.
How the fuck can salt be fanc--
Goddamn it! Are you fucking with us?

Its IODIDE, you morons, not iodine.

>>17490296
You can call iodine salts "iodine" even if the chemical is actually an iodide or iodate. English is a complex language, but keep practising!

Never seen a claim that these are healthy, just fancier.
Blue salt is better anyway

>>17490296
Get fucked autist, you probably bitch about the definition of poaching

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodised_salt
>Edible salt can be iodised by spraying it with a potassium iodate or potassium iodide solution. 57 grams of potassium iodate, costing about US$1.15 (in 2006), is required to iodise a ton (2,000 pounds) of salt.[1] Dextrose is added as a stabilizer to prevent potassium iodide from oxidizing and evaporating. Anti-caking agents such as calcium silicate are commonly added to table salt to prevent clumping.[9]

retards

>>17488862
Looks delicious. Would eat.

>>17490296
>iodine plus an electron
>RREEEE IT'S NOT IODINE

>>17489538
and all sea salts have microplastics in them.
just can't win

I use that light salt thats like half salt half potassium because it tastes the same as normal salt to me but its supposed to be healthier.

>>17491830
Himalayan salt also has plastics in it now.

>>17488576
Many European countries also put iodine in their salt, along with Canadians and Aussies. As already mention, the Swiss were the first country to add iodine to salt; American doctors noticed how successful it was, and convinced salt companies to start adding iodine. This lead to one of the most successful public health pushes in history. Goiters & iodine-deficient related cretinism used to be a big issue in inland America, but basically vanished after iodine was added to salt.

It isn't you high school dropout

>>17492478
this

Salt is no longer iodized in the USA so wrong again.

>>17492847
Huh? Iodized salt is readily available in the US. Picture related.
