Table salt is iodized (that is, iodine is included via sodium iodide or potassium iodide) because people used to be unable to get enough iodine from their diets, and iodine is necessary for a person's thyroid gland to work properly. Since the thyroid is responsible for growth and immunity, people with thyroid deficiency had dramatic problems including dwarfism and goiter (a lump on the front of the throat where the thyroid gland resides). As a result of these problems, iodine was added to table salt (NaCl).
These days, it is actually more likely that a person will develop iodine toxicity (i.e. overdose on iodine) because a typical person's salt intake is SO high above what we need for sodium or iodine. One sign of iodine toxicity is greasy skin and pimples.
