Iodine deficiency has gotten so bad it's made it to the news.
“Himalayan rock salt and sea salt might be contributing to an iodine deficiency problem.”

You know I had no freaking clue that my salt didn’t have it in it. I scrapped it and got some new salt.
There are many benefits to using minimally processed salts like himalayan, celtic , Redmonds Real salt. They have anywhere from 50 - 70 trace minerals that the body also needs to function properly. You can always take iodine supplements. Bleached white table salt has nothing extra besides the added small dose of iodine and many brands of processed salt don't even have the iodine added.
I also recommend reading Dr David Brownstein's book Salt Your Way to Health. He addresses iodine deficiency and has very interesting recommendations on optimal dosages. We need much more iodine!
