Specially important for people on a plant based diet, as most good sources of iodine in food are from animals (eggs, liver, milk, seafood). So using iodine salt is a very simple alternative.
Even without iodized salt it’s easy to get iodine on a plant-based diet, it just comes down to adding a small amount of some kind of seaweed each day, dulse flakes being a good choice.
But iodized salt is simpler, cheaper, more available, so that’s usually my default.
