Me too, Dee Dee. My Dad had a goiter removed before I was born (1939)
and had to take pills the rest of his life. Iodized salt pretty much did
away with the goiter condition for those who didn't live along a
sal****er coast. Sal****er fish generally have enough iodine in them
that it prevented goiters. I use iodized salt for the table for the kids
and grands, use pickling salt, iodine free, for everything else. Much
cheaper than kosher salt or sea salt and does the same job. Maybe my
taste buds aren't sensitive enough to tast the difference in salts, who
knows.
