Whatever you use, make sure that you include iodized salt regularly. Iodine deficiency can result in goitre and hypothyroidism, and brain damage especially in children.
Don't use fancy salt all the time, it is usually not iodized.

Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Its not the 19th century anymore. Iodine deficiency is not a serious concern in most civilized countries. Most people can get enough iodine from their diets from dairy/eggs/fish/legumes.
You don't need iodized salt, go ahead and use fancy salt. If you're really concerned, take a multivitamin every now and then.
Sea salt naturally contains iodine
Says who? You are making shit up without providing sources of what you claim.
Wtf?
Google “sea salt iodine”
I buy providing sources for esoteric or new information, but this has been known since probably the 1800s.
I did and while your claim is true, sea salt does contain iodine, the amount is much, much lower than salt with added iodine. The numbers I found said that sea salt contains 0.1 to 2mg iodine per kilogram. While salt with added iodine contains 15 to 25mg/kg. And there are scientists saying that's not enough.
Yep, it’s not a huge dose, and there are debates as to whether it’s enough etc….
But the fact still stands.
Why the fuck are you telling me to Google shit when you made the claim and the burden of proof lies with you?
This is common knowledge. I was taught this in science class. In the 70s.
In the 1970's schools were in the golden age of societal changes, including teaching desegregation, climate change, incorporating bilingual education, plate tectonics, genetics, and cool space shit that the Hubble telescope in low earth orbit captured.
Modern schools have now degenerated to remove thought provoking books, accept fringe crazy religious bullshit, remove inclusion and equity lessons, spread bad science and hypothesis as fact, etc.
Don't come at us saying this shit; your generation was elevated and now you get to witness the collapse of education with your own eyes while you did nothing to help.
I'm asking for people to consistently support their arguments on the internet with fucking sources so we can read it and improve our knowledge since schools stopped doing this shit thanks to your generation removing the good shit you took for granted just so they could pocket that money instead of improving the system.
We live near the sea, eat plenty of seafood, and iodized salt tastes nasty.
Packed with trace minerals is a new oxymoron for me.
Flaked sea salt actually dissolves slower, not faster than standard table salt on account of its larger crystals!
Need recommendations for best bulk salt brand for adjustable grinders.
