I wonder to what extent this is for Americans, whose bread and cereals are so loaded that they're effectively multivitamins anyway. I live in Norway and just realized that they don't put iodine in their salt. (Actually a lot of minerals I would have normally gotten from enriched bread back home may or may not be added here). Locals eat a lot of white fish and get their iodine that way. But I don't and have started supplementing just in case.

You can get iodised salt in Norway in basically any grocery store. Look for “salt med jod”.

  Ahaha yes, I discovered this after writing :) I think the main argument is still that Europeans don't get as much vitamins/minerals artificially added and 'may' (though not necessarily) be better poised to benefit. I say may because these things are complicated. I also suspect people here give better respect to food and might be eating a more balanced diet naturally
