A cool guide to Choose the Right Salt

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.
- 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.
- 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.
