Does sea salt contain natural iodine?

Most sea salt that you buy does not contain iodine, although I have seen it available with added iodine. The fact that most sea salt does not contain iodine does not mean that it's not a healthier choice. Regular table salt is a dead food with absolutely no nutritional value. Unrefined sea salt on the other hand still has the 80+ trace minerals which every one of our internal organs need to operate optimally. Even if you consume salt with iodine you aren't getting enough to address health issues ociated with low iodine levels...thyroid disorders, adrenal disorders, high blood pressure, fatigue, cholesterol levels, just to name a few. Dr David Brownstein has written two fabulous books that you should read. Salt your way to health and Iodine: Why you need it, Why you can't live without it. I'm typically not a big fan of drs but Mr Brownstein has done his homework. Good luck and be well.
