From Wikipedia: "United States
In the U.S. in the early 20th century, goitre was especially prevalent in the region around the Great Lakes and the Pacific Northwest.[6] David Murray Cowie, a professor of paediatrics at the University of Michigan, led the U.S. to adopt the Swiss practice of adding sodium iodide or potassium iodide to table and cooking salt. On May 1, 1924, iodised salt was sold commercially in Michigan.[7] By the fall of 1924, Morton Salt Company began distributing iodised salt nationally."
Also iodates of Na and K can be added; now this practice is well known around the world and is legal in some countries. It is strange, but some crazy sectarians are against this procedure !
