Wal-Mart sells a brand of Sea Salt which has lower sodium with iodine in it.

If it's salt, it can't be "lower sodium". Salt is NaCl, Sodium Chloride. What they're selling must be a salt substitute or blend of salt and substitute.

Well that is the claim on TV when they are selling a certain brand name of soup.

I didn’t have that branch of science in HS so I never learned about the element tables. Another failure of our school system. So it is my misunderstanding about sea salt being lower in sodium than regular salt and relying on a TV commercial.

The company that sells the sea salt with iodine in it is Hain. So far it is the only one I’ve seen on the grocery store shelf.

IF I go 2-3 weeks with out the salt with iodine I get real sick at my stomach, like morning sickness only lasting all day. I have a hypothyroid. I limit my salt intake, but what I do take in must have iodine in it.
