「Iodized salt or iodized table salt is the article of commerce, salt for human food use, to which has been added cuprous iodide or potassium iodide. The label shall bear the statement 'This salt supplies iodide, a necessary nutrient'. Cuprous iodide and potassium iodide may be added to table salt as a source of dietary iodine in an amount not greater than 0.01 percent.」

「Iodine contributes to normal cognitive function, normal functioning of the nervous system, the maintenance of normal skin, normal production of thyroid hormones and normal thyroid function, and contributes to normal growth of children」

「Adults need 140 micrograms (μg) of iodine a day. Most people should be able to get all the iodine they need by eating a varied and balanced diet. Taking high doses of iodine for long periods of time could change the way your thyroid gland works. This can lead to a wide range of different symptoms, such as weight gain. Taking 0.5mg or less a day of iodine supplements is unlikely to cause any harm.」
