That may be true, but at the same time, iodized salt doesn't have nutrients that mined and farmed salt have.

And adding iodine to sea salt wouldn't remove whatever other compounds were in it. Wikipedia has this: Unrefined sea salt contains small amounts of magnesium and calcium halides and sulfates, traces of algal products, salt-resistant bacteria and sediment particles. The calcium and magnesium salts confer a faintly bitter overtone... Algal products contribute a mildly "fishy" or "sea-air" odour, the latter from organobromine compounds. Sediments, the proportion of which varies with the source, give the salt a dull grey appearance. Since taste and aroma compounds are often detectable by humans in minute concentrations, sea salt may have a more complex flavor than pure sodium chloride when sprinkled on top of food.

- mrybczyn 9y agoYou can iodize mined / farmed salt. There's plenty in the supermarket for your organic local artisanal salt needs...
- yorwba 9y agoI thought iodized salt was just regular salt with iodine added? What nutrients would it lack?
