- positr0n 11y agoHe said decreasing intake would inadvertently cause mild depression, not help. (I read it that way too at first)
- qntty 11y agoHe's saying that a decreased iodine intake due to eating organic foods causes mild depression.
- jE22teTh 11y agoSorry for the poor phrasing. Decreasing salt intake is a healthy thing to do these days, which will likely also decrease one's iodine intake.

We don't really know for sure. http://www.medpagetoday.com/Endocrinology/GeneralEndocrinology/49602 http://www.medpagetoday.com/Endocrinology/GeneralEndocrinolo... http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2015/04/06/more-scientists-doubt-salt-is-as-bad-for-you-as-the-government-says/ http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2015/04/06/m...
