Message:


Is it true that iodine added to table salt (rock salt mined from the earth) is 
man made in a lab with metals? Is it not natural? In high amounts metals can be 
dangerous to humans. Wouldn't sea salt be better (in either way) and provide 
the iodine needed for proper thyroid function in humans?
