Iodized salt appeared on our tables not from a good life. By no means. This is a forced measure caused by a severe shortage in the human body of one of the most important microelements - iodine. The lack of a mineral affects extremely negatively on human health: the thyroid gland suffers, irritability, sensitivity, memory suffers; in childhood, the lack of iodine often leads to mental retardation. The use of iodized salt is that it saturates the body with iodine, which is so necessary for it to fully develop.
Benefit and harm of iodized salt
But the benefits of iodized salt will only be if it is not subjected to heat treatment, otherwise all iodine will evaporate and there will not be any benefit. Iodized salt should be added to the already prepared dish.
However, iodized salt has both benefit and harm. With an overabundance of iodine in the body (and this is often the case, if iodine is not obtained with food, but with dietary supplements), health problems are no less terrible than with its lack. For example, an overabundance of iodine leads to the appearance of nausea, vomiting, abscesses, bronchitis , eye problems, even general poisoning of the body (especially if the thyroid gland is not working well or in the elderly).
So iodized salt can do great harm if you use it uncontrollably. It is necessary to be limited to the necessary dose, not more than that. Therefore, after consulting a doctor, it is better not to take iodized salt, but BADs containing this valuable compound: they are much easier to dose.
And it is even better to use so many useful iodine-containing foods so that iodine deficiency is not intrepid, plus periodically seasoning with iodized salt. To be afraid of an overdose it is not necessary, as for this purpose it is necessary to eat such salt with kilograms.
So, iodized sea salt can bring both benefit and harm, therefore it is necessary to avoid overdose!
