Iodized salt

There seems to be a big controversy in salt these days. As with most elemental nutrients that our bodies need to survive, it all depends on genetics, conditions, and a balanced diet for your specific body profile. The process of iodizing salt started in 1924 to combat the growing goiter problem. This practice was modeled after Sweden who did the same thing with promising results a few years earlier. I think we're going to start seeing a rise in thyroid issues in the US due to the use of sea salts (which only contain trace amounts of iodine) and other non-iodized products.
