Iodized salt plays a vital role in preventing thyroid disease because your thyroid gland relies on iodine to produce essential metabolic hormones.
When your body doesn't get enough iodine, your thyroid cannot function properly, which can lead to hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid) or a goiter (an enlarged thyroid gland).
While regular table salt is iodized to prevent these deficiencies, specialty options like pink Himalayan salt, kosher salt, and sea salt usually do not contain iodine. However, finding the right balance is key—consuming too much iodine can also trigger or worsen thyroid issues.
