Iodized salt is good for the health only of persons who would otherwise have a deficiency of salt or of iodine in the their diet. Iodine deficiency can lead to the disease named "goiter". Some salt is necessary to life, but American diets often include so much salt that health is adversely affected by most of it.

What is the difference between iodized salt and non iodized salt?

I'm not SO good with salt but iodized salt is better for you than non iodized salt. Iodine has been added to refined table salt for a good many years to counteract the effects of iodine deficient diets. Its absence can cause problems including goiter and stunted growth. Iodized salt, therefore, contains minute traces of iodide or iodate compounds that are easily metabolized by the body. Non-iodized salt does not have these compounds added (although they might be present naturally).
