Interesting! Evidently many libs grew up in an iodine-free zone.
But Mayor Blooberg says salt is bad for you.
Well..80% of the people that I deal with don’t use salt...:-))
Annnddd, how do they account for America today?
There are a few countries where saying "your momma didn't take her iodine" is a major insult.
Could have fooled me.
Judging from the last few Presidential elections, I think we need to add even more iodine.
Iodine was added to salt at a time when food sources were regional. That time is long past; it would be nearly impossible for an American today to have an iodine deficiency.
That would certainly explain Michael Bloomberg's megalomaniacal dementia.
If Bloomberg and the Obamas can get the IQ down by 30 points, there will be even more Democrats...
Fortunately, the Federal government was able to counteract this drastic effect by adding Communists to education.
I suppose if eating lead paint can make you stupid , iodized salt can make you smart

The public health message to limit salt use underlies a gradual and insidious return of iodine deficiency. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) assessment of Americans’ health revealed a 50% reduction in iodine levels and a quadrupling of iodine deficiency in the period between 1971 and 1994. Twelve percent of the population surveyed from 1988 to 1994 were severely iodine deficient, judged by urinary levels of iodine.8 Women of childbearing age are at particular risk for iodine deficiency, with up to 36% evidencing low levels.9
A recent detailed analysis of several brands of commercially available salt showed that, after opening, iodine is lost rapidly from the product. Once the container is exposed to air, iodine content is nearly gone within four weeks after opening (even faster under conditions of high humidity). The study suggests that, even among people who use the salt shaker frequently for cooking and food, daily iodine intake may be below the recommended daily intake.10
The majority of salt used in processed foods is not iodized. While dairy products and baked foods (bread and related products) were formerly substantial sources of iodine, the iodine content of these foods has dropped due to changing practices by dairy producers and bakers.10-12
you’d think that would’ve let the blacks gain at least 30 extra points.
So the ‘sea salt’ (that doesn’t have added iodide) made everyone dumber?
I just eat seaweed. Yummy!! Try SeaSnax they are addictive. ;)
But I take a multi-vitamin daily.
so i guess they started taking it out in the ‘70s, eh?
Wait till you see the results of nicotine, cause of the industrial revolution, now banned in the USSA.
