Is it a problem to use iodized sea salt instead of non iodized sea salt/sea water?
So, i'd like to know if there's any problem to use iodized sea salt instead of the non iodized ?
Thanks for your attention!
The answer
i'd avoid iodized sea salt. the less it has been processed or heated the better.

Sea salt stands in for seawater when the ocean is out of reach. Two ratios apply. (Office Hours Ep. 48, 58:00) (Office Hours Ep. 72, 1:05:11)
- Field strength: 1 gram of sea salt per liter of water. (Office Hours Ep. 48, 58:00)
- Full-strength seawater: about 30 grams per liter, roughly 120 grams per gallon. (Office Hours Ep. 72, 1:05:11)
The goal is minerals. Seawater carries sodium chloride plus trace minerals. (Office Hours Ep. 48, 55:36) The Pure KNF Manual says the sea contains every trace mineral. (Pure KNF Manual, p. 53) The manual also asks growers to record the source or brand of their sea salt for certification. (Pure KNF Manual, p. 53)
The library says nothing about iodine or iodized salt, so it cannot say whether iodine helps or harms.
