Doesn't iodized salt have a weird taste? I'm pretty sure I don't have any in my house. I don't think reasonably well-off people in developed countries need iodized salt, because we get enough iodine from our diets.

Depends very much on your diet. Lots of fish, milk, other animal products? Probably fine. Otherwise, maybe not so much.
- ufo 5y agoIt wasn't long ago when most of Europe was iodine deficient. It got better recently because of a concerted push towards universal salt iodization but there are still some places that remain iodine deficient, including Germany. * Europe is Iodine Deficient (2003) https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(03)12935-2/fulltext https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6... * World map of iodine status (2021) https://www.ign.org/cm_data/IGN_Global_Scorecard_MAP_2021_SAC_-_7_May_2021.pdf https://www.ign.org/cm_data/IGN_Global_Scorecard_MAP_2021_SA... * The Krakow Declaration on Iodine (2018) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6140595/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6140595/
