There's nothing wrong with using iodized salt. It's just that it tastes terrible and the extra iodine is completely unnecessary.

it prevents goiter.

>Very high temp
>For one hour
>Then a thing will happen, I promise. I know no sane person will just put piles of salt in the oven, but trust me. The actual iodine in it will totally taste like the "iodine" they put on your scraped knees as a kid; Even though that's actually polyvinylpyrrolidone and basically equating sugar and pencil lead. I'm not just bullshitting guys. Just because everyone from average Joe to pro chef couldn't tell the difference if their lives depended on it, doesn't mean it doesn't taste completely different

Kosher salt is the way

So does food? How do you think we avoided goiter before iodized salt?

>>18957376
People who lived inland just developed goiters dude

I take 50mg of potassium iodide daily
i put the crystals on a mg scale
i took 200-1000mg doses b4 but im saving my stash

>>18957404
Yes, a real problem before things like refrigeration and shipping. It is now trivial to get iodine in your diet.

>>18957416
the amount of iodine in your table salt is also trivial. why complain? it's free goiter prevention.

>he missed the month when the entirety of /pol/ shilled iodized salt as a panacea

>>18957527
Go back.

>>18957376
Unless your plants grow on iodine-deficient soil and your livestock grew up on these plants. Like in central Europe, where the iodine was removed from the soil during the last ice-age.

Explain a kosher salt

If you don't use iodized salt your body will crave known sources of iodine. the iodine in all that salt used in fast food.
don't let them trick you into believing iodized salt doesn't belong in your kitchen
