The article states otherwise

  Well, the article brings up iodine overdose from popular medications at the time, but you pretty much can't get too much iodine from iodized salt without having consumed way too much salt.

  >The article states otherwise No it doesn't. You're ignoring the context. You can't have too much iodine when it's obtained from iodized salt. ...because you can't handle that much salt. From the article: 10x'ing the concentration of iodine in salt had no adverse effects. You'd have to eat salt by the pound daily to reach levels where iodine is harmful, but at that point, that'll be the least of your worries.

    To be fair to the interlocuters, kergonath left the salt out of his or her or their comment.

    I think that depends on the concentration of the iodine in the salt

      Right, but that's a standardized fortification so any iodized salt you get anywhere in the world now would make that statement true.
