Whenever shit like this comes up I'm always tempted to try it but I feel like im going to be jewed and it will all be placebo.

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)

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

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.
