The advice to eschew iodized salt in favor of kosher salt is dangerous. Iodo-deficiency is a significant number of IQ points, and in the first world, iodized salt costs the same as non-iodized. It helps thyroid function too, please do not go out of your way to avoid free iodine in your diet!

- cratermoon 6y agoYup. The average person doesn't really need iodized salt in the modern developed world.
- chris_wot 6y agoFun fact: Australia, quite by accident, had iodized milk up to the 80s, because of the sanitisers used in dairy processing which contained iodophors. And now that we have started phasing them out, it turns out that iodine deficiency has started occurring again.
- cratermoon 6y agoWhen I was a home brewer I learned about iodophors for no-rinse sanitizing. Do any commercial brewers use it? If so, bottoms up, mate!
