burtlan, iodine is already fortified (they're not neglecting it)
Yes it's neglected.
Check how many modern countries report iodine insufficiency: it's everywhere. They've made sure to forbid direct sales of Lugol in pharmacies (criminals) so people cannot correct their deficiency.
Salt, once opened, loses it's added iodine content by evaporation after a few months. Plus most people cut on their salt intake.
and if you imply that plenty is not harmful, they're missing an opportunity to improve the wealth of the population. How much would you propose instead?
?
The same amount ingested by Japanese over their lifetime for hundreds/thousands of years, as explained by Dr Guy Abraham: 12 mg/day (2 Lugol drops), which achieves steady state sufficiency for all organs
