Iodine

How much iodine does one need in their diet ? I don't really use table salt anymore, and only use sea salt. Is my body missing the table salt?

thanks,

You should eat iodinized salt and not just sea salt. Iodine is important in preventing hypothyroidism. In the US when table salt became iodinized, the incidence of hypothyroidism and goiter dropped dramatically.

Use the sea salt in diches you cook, use iodinized salt when you add salt at the table.
