« on: July 12, 2011, 05:31:12 pm »table salt is just sodium chloride mixed with a very small amount of iodized salt and sometimes iron and/or fluoride. the latter two are rarer and depend on where you live.
the proliferation of iodized table salt is one of the most efficient and effective public health interventions available to developing countries, and in the west and many other places around the world has led to the near-elimination of goiter and a reduction in one of the leading preventable causes of mental retardation -- i.e. iodine deficiency.
everything in moderation.
good point
plus you get to avoid paying twelve time as much for some idiotic, breathlessly overhyped bullshit like oh, i don't know, himalayan crystal salt. iodized table salt = so much win.
