Yeah iodized and fluorized salt (either or both) gets a slightly different taste, but I think it's worth it for the health benefits 😁 (actually I had to look up the name of the disease you can get from a lack of iodine and I only find that it prevents a deficiency for your thyroid gland, when as a kid I'm pretty sure I consistently heard it prevents a specific disease)
You might be thinking of goitre (CW: gross medical images), which is a thyroid disorder. Iodine deficiency can also cause lots of other health effects to children, including harm to cognitive and physical development.
It's why many countries have laws mandating that table salt contain iodine, specially in inland regions where seafood is less common. I definitely recommend keeping up with iodised salt (I think the pink one usually doesn't have any) unless you already have plenty of fish in your diet.
Interesting, I don't think I can even buy salt that isn't iodized and fluorized. Apart from things like Himalayan salt. Maybe it is a local thing tho.
If you're in Europe the salt you put in your dishwasher is the exact same as table salt, but it's pure. I don't plan on trying it but technically it's edible.
Never thought of that. I always assumed that dishwasher salt is just a name for some specific thing, but it actually is just a salt. Thanks for the info!
