Is this a good enough excuse to push iodized salt? Yes it is.
If you're the kind of person who is only using kosher, himalayan, or any other fancy salts, you should really include an iodized variant in your home as well. You only need a small pinch of it per day. Companies started including iodine in their salt for good reason - people were dying of iodine deficiency. Iodine is not easy to get naturally from food, especially if you live in a northern region.
But because there was a fad for those other fancy salts, we're seeing a resurgence of iodine deficiencies and hypothyroidism. Do not skip on the stuff, it's an essential nutrient!
And bonus points for blood pressure health if you opt for potassium-based salt substitutes.
