I buy sea salt, it naturally contains iodine. Most of the salt sold here in Switzerland contains iodine, but you can buy normal salt if you like.

In China, it is against the law if someone sold salt without iodine.

@MattMeng Iodine can be dangerous if people get too much. Too Much Iodine may lead to hypothyroidism. This is why our government leaves the choice. Those who know that have no iodine deficiency, buy normal salt.

Some of us go to the seaside to breathe iodine. Then yes, iodine salt is usually the one you find and that's inexpensive, so why not buying that one?

@sabtraversa Yes, fish or seafood from sea will take some iodine to us if we eat them.

@MattMeng Iodine can be found in the sea, and it is an element which can easily sublime. However you won't get much iodine if you go to the seaside and breathe only. It is better to eat salt (not too much, it still contains sodium) and fish or seafood to be sure you have ingested the healthy amount of iodine.

Much of our table salt contains iodine, but many people have switched to other forms of salt to minimize the sodium in their diets and may not be getting as much iodine as needed any more. Also, our fish that we catch in the state of Michigan probably doesn't have iodine since we aren't living close to any oceans. Of course, many people still purchase and eat seafood transported from oceans, but not everyone enjoys those foods. There are many minerals that we lack especially if we eat more pleasure foods, like snacks, than what is grown or provided from the sea.

@MattMeng Idodized salt first became available in the US in the early nineteen hundreds. Iodine was recognized as a need in our diets in the eighteen hundreds though. It looks like many countries now add it to some type of food although that link wouldn't open for me.

Thank you very much, my dear friend, it is so kindly that you sent material to me. In fact it's also bad for our health if we eat too much salt

@MattMeng Our awesome body has its intelligent mechanism to tell us if it has metabolized enough sodium chloride in our billions of cells. I think the report above tells us, at least 8 grams (1.5 tsp) daily should suffice. We use sea salt on a regular basis. :-)
