Yep. It's mostly placebo/pseudo-science bullshit. It is possible to be iodine deficient, and that would have detrimental effects. But it's pretty rare. Most salt is iodized, despite what this leads you to believe. And if people buy seasalt, it's because of the taste, not some "conspiracy" (that point kinda ruins the credibility of the post)
gee, I fucking wonder (((who))) sets those "recommended levels". Holy shit some of you are easily tricked.
Actually look at what other countries are eating vs their health. look at the high dose studies. look at some actual fucking research instead of letting the FUCKING (((GOVERNMENT))) tell you what levels they want you to have.
The barely noticeable amount of iodine that is in table salt, from what I have read, evaporates over time and leaves the salt.... well, non-iodized. I also have used the supplement in my cold coffee (hides the taste). I am happy with the results. I also have hypothyroidism.
That's very neat. I didn't know that, about iodine evaporation. I mean it makes sense because it's a halogen. Apparently, if you don't keep your salt in sealed container, and you live in a high humidity area, virtually all of the iodine can be evaporated away in about one year.

Are you just pulling this out of your ass though, or do you actually have something to back it up?

The general US population does get enough iodine: https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/thy.2010.0077
Although it is noteworthy that it has decreased 50% from the 1970s to the 1990s: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9768638

No, that's because we Fat Man and Little Boy'd them.

And? That doesn't mean that there is a benefit of going higher.

Just get iodized salt and you won't be screwed out of anything.
