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.

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