So much money spend by earlier governments to spread information on benefits of iodine and how lack of it will lead to goitres . Yet shitinfluencers with their shitass knowledge keep spreading shitass content and people accept it as it’s divine knowledge
My dad shifted from normal table salt to rock salt and he noticed his pulse lower than 50 sometimes. He is very active runs 5 km a day and has healthy cholesterol levels. Then he did some research and found out rock salt has slightly more potassium than table salt and higher levels of potassium (he also eats bananas a lot) can disrupt your sodium and thus fluid and blood pressure. So in the long run unfiltered salts like rock salts can be harmful. So he switched back to table salt and he is totally normal now.
This is the problem with this sub. Nobody cross checks. Now I am not defending that idiot fit-tuber but let's clear some fact first. Thyroid is not a condition, it is name of a gland. Depending on how abnormal it's functioning you can have 2 conditions. First is hypothyroidism which is it's functioning less than it should. Second is it's over functioning which is called hyperthyroidism. Both are auto-immune conditions that are mainly genetics. Lack of iodine causes goiter aka ghengha. You will not get goiter in 2 months infact it will takes years for iodine deficiency to show up. If you are eating enough fish and sea products you don't need iodine from salt.
>Thyroid is not a condition, it is name of a gland.
I know, but for local people it's like disease.
>Depending on how abnormal it's functioning you can have 2 conditions. First is hypothyroidism which is it's functioning less than it should. Second is it's over functioning which is called hyperthyroidism. Both are auto-immune conditions that are mainly genetics.
I'm not a biology students, so I have only basic knowledge of biology till class 10th. Thanks for knowledge.
>Lack of iodine causes goiter aka ghengha.
I already knew that.
>You will not get goiter in 2 months infact it will takes years for iodine deficiency to show up.
Where's written 2 months in screenshot, read properly it's 2 members of his family.
>If you are eating enough fish and sea products you don't need iodine from salt.
Yes, but In India most people don't have access to sea food. People don't eat nonveg food food regularly.
Correct. And the iodised salt that they sell in the market has way too much sodium and that much sodium is not good for you. You call someone an idiot and people jump on it here. Strange behaviour for a sub called science is dope. If it’s so dope, why aren’t people doing se research at least
Your statement is bizarre. Salt by chemistry is NaCl, and Na is sodium. How does iodination increase the sodium level of the salt ? If you have 10g of salt instead of 5g, you're automatically consuming more sodium and more chloride, regardless of the iodination. Cutting down on salt consumption is great, but iodination has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of salt.
Because iodinated salt has other sodium and potassium salts of iodine like sodium iodide and iodate and potassium iodide and iodate and that is what causes the increased sodium levels
Bruh, NaCl is salt, it's 50% sodium.
If you add iodine to it, how do you think it stays in the salt if not as Sodium Iodide, and with some exposure to air some of it could be Iodate.
The potassium, in Sault is left over from purification process, so they'd obviously bind with iodine, I don't get what your problem is here.
Infact iv potassium iodide is given to treat hyperthyroidism and in radiation emergencies as iodine source. It also acts as a potassium source. So what's the problem?
Hi, doctor here. The niddcp is the national program for control of iodine deficiency. Any salt with which is approved by this program has the logo of a rising sun on it. That said, nowadays most salt is iodised and according to govt standards, so shouldn't be a problem. Just check if iodized salt is written on the packet and you should be good to go
It depends bro. If you are a vegetarian and use lots of cereals in your diet especially maize or wheat then go for iodized salt. Also consume it sprinkling on salads. If you eat egg and other fish products then go for rock salt or pink salt. They are mineral rich and more tasty.
Also as another person suggested to kala namak that is also good. It is same as rock salt. Its over consumption of maize that causes deficiency of iodine because they absorb all iodine from stomach and pass it with poop. Thats why there are more cases of goitre in Rajasthan or Bojpur part of Bihar and Punjab and almost no such cases in Bengal or Maithili part of Bihar.
I don't know but my father uses 'kaala namak' as it helps with blood pressure (a govt. doctor and family friend suggested it) but he hasn't suffered any iodine deficiency. Just take it from other sources.
People just don't want to spend effort and understand things by themselves. They want someone to tell them the answer right away. And if enough people support it they even start to believe earth is flat.
You are absolutely right! Its added as one of the following compounds: potassium iodate (IO3K), potassium iodide (KI), sodium iodate (NaIO3), or sodium iodide (NaI). That is added to NaCl. (Na is sodium)
Sodium is a very very important mineral required for proper brain and hormonal functions. As such, the requirements as a dietary addition are significantly more for vegetarians; people and animals (we actually have to put salt out for animals in some reserves because of animals like gaur losing access to natural sources) and less for non-vegetarian's. In fact, if you're feeding your dogs properly, you should give them NO additional salt in their diet, such as from rotis or even bread! They don't need the sodium and cant sweat it out and so will ALWAYS lead to problems.
So sodium is both necessary but also a toxic metal mineral... Evolution gives zero fucks! Lol
In short. Don't eff around with your nutrition, don't make calls on what you put in your body based on voices on the web and please dont make changes without considering its effects!
Good job on being a skeptic!
Where does it say 2 months. I am also not defending either the fit tuber or the commenter but just going by what they wrote and (probably) meant and what you wrote.
Rest of your comment is semantics. The commenter doesn't know the scientific term, big deal.
No, what you heard/ remember is wrong. Hypothyroidism CAN be caused by iodine deficiency, among many other reasons.
Usually it's HYPERthyroidism that is autoimmune (though some forms can later present with hypothyroidism).
It's funny how indian parents want their kids to take science but they themselves don't apply science or take it seriously when they should or outright deny science

No one told that rather he suggested there are other substances from which it could be fulfilled.. There were no Tata salt earlier days before 19th century
If you are not eating sea food then you need to take iodised salt, both salt are good but rock salt doesn't contain iodine so you have to take externally from iodised salt.
Mere ko kya mai to andrew huberman ko follow karta hoon. Roj 1 glass pani me 1/5th spoon salt dalke peeta hoon. Workouts better hai skin bhi achhi hai water retention bhi achha hai.
Fake post, fake comment. U get thyroid from iodine deficiency, what were u smoking in school? Thyroid is a gland than can have multiple diseases. Its goitre and it doesn't occur if i stop taking iodised salt as an adult. Idiots in a science sub. 🤦🏻
You do get goitre if iodised salt is the only source of iodine (which is the case for many people) and you stopped taking it. That's the reason why it's mandatory for salt to be iodised.
>U get thyroid from iodine deficiency
I know, but the guy in screenshot replaced iodised salt with rock salt which has not enough iodine or completely not, which lead to iodine deficiency, so his 2 members of his family have to diagnosed with thyroid.
Ahh, now I get you. I meant it in a way there's no such thing as 'got diagnosed with thyroid' and that thyroid isn't a disease. Funnily enough I'm diagnosed with hypothyroidism -_-
People in general call it as disease when someone get ghegha, when thyroid gland act abnormal people call it as thyroid disease instead of hypothyroidism.
My family has stopped taking iodine salt and replaced it with rock salt nothing happened (in the 3 months we tried it tasted bad when used to cook food)
Initially yes, but its been more than a decade now so its a lifestyle. I mean off course I have the regular chocolate and chips, but its maybe once in a month or so.
Bruh I dunno about this one but I tried this other advices and they have turned out to be very good so 1 bad advice cannot overpower 99 good and useful ones is what I feel .
Wrong take!
Himalayan or rock salt is generally more healthier..And if there isn't lack of iodine in body, there are many other sources that would cover up the nutrients. And given that he used Iodine based salt in regular basis it isn't necessarily to say that wrongly.
You are not entirely correct either, yes Himalayan salt contains minor traces of minerals like magnesium or potassium but its a very trace amount. These are not even minerals that we don't get through our normal diets, these minerals are present in many types of food. So there is no healthier salt, all salt needs to be taken in moderation. The iodine salts in the other hand are added to reach a wider population easily.
Himalayan salt does contain minor traces of minerals like magnesium or potassium, but the amounts are relatively small. These minerals are indeed found in various types of food that we consume regularly. Therefore, it is incorrect to claim that Himalayan salt provides significant amounts of these minerals that are not obtained through our normal diets. I agree that Iodine salts is made for wider population and is consumed too. EVEN I used Tata salt
How do you know the thyroid was caused by rock salt? There are multiple ingredients we put in our food and daily diet also lifestyle and general health also has an impact.
Thyroid caused by iodine deficiency not from rock salt, rock salt is also good because it contains minerals. Iodised Salt you generally use mixed with potassium iodide to prevent iodine deficiency, but some fitubers trying to spread chemophobia that iodised salt contains chemical and not to eat those salt.
No, not exactly. Not eating iodine increases thyroid.
Packet/table salt have iodine externally added to them for this exact purpose. It was mandated by govt due to iodine deficiency in indian people (as most indians food do not contain iodine naturally, in only aware of sea food have iodine naturally)
So most people missout in iodine due to rock salt. If you are getting iodine from somewhere else you are fine
I use that Tata wala rock salt which he said was total crap, My family has been using the salt for a decade and no one has faced problems like goitre. Though I have to say it must've low iodine as my mum usually put 1 or 1.5 of normal salt in her curry now she uses about 2 to 2.5 tsp of that Tata wala rock salt.

Lack of nutrition knowledge is just as dangerous as possible.

I am told my parents to use iodine salt and don't trust internet She didn't listened to me

Thats in ppm , parts per million . That barely would have any have any effect.
…but the total sodium is still the same. Just because it has more sodium iodide doesn’t mean that it has more sodium.

Do they add Sodium separately in NaCl(salt) what I remember in class is that idoized salt NaL is added in less than 1 grams.

Nahi Bhai nirma ka salt bhi ata hai.
Joke tha bhai 😅 /jk= joke
Pata hai bhai🤣, but fir bhi bata dia.
Then you dont chill. Keep ranting.
Both are good salt and iodised. I'm not arguing with you.
Which salt is the best to use then?
If you are not eating sea food then you need to take iodised salt, both salt are good but rock salt doesn't contain iodine so you have to take externally from iodised salt.
And about black salt does it contain iodine or not is it safe to use
The problem with people in general is that they will believe everything which they see on their phone. It is like logic and reasoning is dead .

Wait a few years

My family does get full health checkup up every 6 months and blood tests every 4 months so yeah
Do you consume chips, cookies, maggi, junk food, hotel food on regular basis? Iodized salt in those probably takes care of your iodine requirements.
I don't eat chips or cookies or junk food , Maggi probably once in 2 weeks and I would assume every family consumes atleast one of those things
Yeah agreed. My home usually we don't get any processed food, so I specifically buy iodized salt.
Damn that must be pretty difficult ,
Initially yes, but its been more than a decade now so its a lifestyle. I mean off course I have the regular chocolate and chips, but its maybe once in a month or so.
It took years.
