Iodine deficiency is often seen as a problem of the past, but this isn't entirely true. During the 20th century, the iodization of salt became one of the most effective public health interventions for preventing conditions caused by a lack of this mineral, including goiter (enlargement of the thyroid gland) and preventable damage to neurological development.

    So we agree?

    Pure, refined NaCl tastes the same as pure, refined NaCl with that amount of iodine added.

    Smoked salt tastes the same as smoked salt with that amount of iodine added (if such exists?)

    Fleur de sel would taste the same as fleur de sel with that amount of iodine added, if someone would make such a thing.

    ?

    I prefer lovage salt to pure salt for lots of purposes too, that’s got nothing to do with anything iodine.
