Iodine is necessary for the thyroid gland to make thyroxine hormone. In case iodine is deficient in our diet, e.g. not eating enough fish and other seafood that contains natural iodine, there is a possibility that we might suffer from goitre.
Iodine deficiency can also produce mental retardation and is a global problem. Excessive use of table salt (NaCl) is also harmful, so a balanced seafood diet is better against mental and other malnutrition problems.
Iodised salt
Iodised salt is recommended to avoid idiocy.See this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodised_salt.
The healthier salt is iodised; but the sea salt can be also iodised.
Iodised salt (sodium chloride) contain iodine (as potassium/sodium iodide or potassium/sodium iodate). The concentration of iodine is 20 +/- 5 mg/kg. Iodised salt is recommended to avoid idiocy.
Iodised table salt contain sodium chloride, potassium iodide (or iodate) and anticaking substances.

Iodised salt is made by adding iodine, a non-metal, to table salt (sodium chloride). Iodine is essential for human health, particularly for thyroid function, and its addition helps prevent iodine deficiency disorders. The process usually involves mixing potassium iodate or potassium iodide with salt to ensure that the iodine is stable and effective.
Iodised salt is considered a mixture because it consists of two components: regular table salt (sodium chloride) and an added iodine compound, typically potassium iodide or potassium iodate. These components retain their individual properties and can be present in varying proportions. Thus, iodised salt does not have a uniform composition throughout, which is characteristic of mixtures.
Yes, iodised salt can be used in place of plain salt in tomato relish. The primary difference is the presence of iodine, which doesn't significantly affect the flavor of the relish. However, it’s important to use it in moderation, as iodised salt may have a slightly different taste profile. Overall, it will work well for seasoning and preserving the relish.
iodine is necessary for the thyroid gland to make thyroxin hormone. thyroxin regulates carbohydrates, protein and fat metabolism in the body so as to provide the best balance for growth. iodine is essential for the synthesis of thyroxin so the use of iodised salt is advisable.
