There's literally no way anyone can taste the difference between iodized and non iodized table salt blind to the source. There's just so little there, it seems the Swiss standard is something like 25 mg/kg. There's probably more plastic in the salt than iodine at this point.
- tonfa 3y ago> There's probably more plastic in the salt than iodine at this point. Probably not in swiss salt tho (it's usually mountain salt, not sea salt).
- ch4s3 3y agoI thought it was clear that I meant that in jest. My point was that the amount of iodine is imperceptibly small.
- masklinn 3y agoPeople almost certainly confuse iodine with anticaking agents.
- tonfa 3y agoBut microplastic in sea salt is a real thing (and might be a bit worrying, personally I now always go for mountain salt, deposited pre-anthropocene era)
- ch4s3 3y agoSure. Even still you’re talking about a highly abrasive product often packed in plastic. But none of that is material to my point.
- caymanjim 3y agoWhat an absurd thing to fixate on. There are a million other things you consume that are going to have more microplastics in them.
- ch4s3 3y agoHaha, I totally agree.
- ufo 3y agoSadly, this is the argument that people give ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
