In India iodized salt is common these days, in such table salts as Tata Salt. Salt started being iodized only around 15 or so years back, IIRC.

- rldjbpin 3y agothe regular table salt has been iodized for a long time, as pointed out by another comment. although the rock salts of the world don't seem to be iodized iirc.
- Scoundreller 3y agoIsrael notably iodizes very little of its salt and it’s hard to find. Combined with desalinated water consumption, their iodine deficiency rates are through the roof. https://www.haaretz.com/science-and-health/2017-03-27/ty-article/study-israelis-have-among-worlds-worst-iodine-deficiency/0000017f-e116-d9aa-afff-f95e8c5c0000 https://www.haaretz.com/science-and-health/2017-03-27/ty-art... https://ijhpr.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13584-020-00367-4 https://ijhpr.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13584-020-...
- fuzztester 3y agoThat's interesting, and surprising for such a technologically advanced country.

- fuzztester 3y agoOh wow, I didn't know it went that for back. But I am fairly sure I only noticed it in shops around 15 years ago as I said. Okay, maybe 20 or a bit more.
