The biggest benefit of eating non-iodized salt is that it prevents excessive iodine intake.
Excessive iodine is likely to lead to goiter or cause iodine-related thyroid diseases, so it is important to pay attention to scientific iodine supplementation. With the improvement of living standards, diets are becoming more and more diversified, and the iodine intake in a normal diet can meet the needs of most people, so there is no need to consume iodized salt to increase iodine intake, and excessive intake will result in iodine overdose.
Pregnant women, hypothyroid patients, or patients with goiter due to iodine deficiency in some areas are more suitable to use iodized salt to supplement iodine. Pregnant women need more iodine during pregnancy, and iodine deficiency will affect fetal development, so iodine supplementation is needed in moderation.
Patients with hypothyroidism and goiter can improve their condition by consuming iodized salt under the guidance of a doctor on the basis of cooperating with the doctor’s treatment.
If there is any thyroid disease, please consult a doctor for a clear diagnosis. Consult your doctor about the use of iodized salt or non-iodized salt.
