We are pleased to bring you this Maine made sea salt combined with our iodine rich, certified organic dulse and kelp. This delicious blend will fully meet your body's need for the essential element iodine, crucial not only for the thyroid, but also the endocrine and immune systems. We've recently learned from Dr. David Brownstein's Iodine, Why You Need It, that iodine levels have dropped over 50% in the last 30 years in the US, even though iodized table salt has been around since the 1920's. The possible reasons for this unhealthy situation are complex: The iodine in iodized salt may not be fully bioavailable. Our depleted, farm soils are iodine starved. Iodine interfering compounds of bromine, flourine and chlorine are increasing in our foods. People are eating less dairy and animal products that provide iodine. More people are eating sea salt, mistakenly believing it a good source of iodine (less than 1 mcg/g). These are some of the reasons your body deserves this healthy sea veg-iodized, Maine-made, sea salt. We trust you'll like it.
