    This not iodised,

      pennypincher98 on 11/05/2023 - 23:08

      Never gotten iodised salt. A regular diet has enough iodine, too much iodine isn't good, it affects taste and texture (chemical aftertaste). It's why professional chefs/restaurants don't use it. Iodised salt was cheap and a good way for people to get iodine in the great depression.

      You'll find only cooking and table salt has iodised options. Everything else is non-iodised (Kosher salt, Himalayan salt etc).

        Bc then they would no longer be Kosher or pure Himalayan salt.

        A regular diet has enough iodine

        If you're Japanese, or eat seafood every week!

          @wisdomtooth: Uhh iodine isn't just in seafood. It's in dairy, bread, beef/pork/lamb, eggs, oats, potatoes, beans/legumes, spinach, broccoli, quinoa etc.

          You need 150mcg of iodine. That's roughly a glass of milk, 2 slices of bread and 2 eggs.

            @pennypincher98: Not nearly enough iodine in the foods you mentioned to get the RDI, that's only about 80mcg. Australian kids were identified as iodine deficient in the mid 2000s, not the great depression, so bread now has to be made with iodised salt.

            If you have a really good diet, then sure, you'll get enough, but there's really nothing wrong with having iodised salt as an insurance policy.

              @Ozymandias:

              kids were identified as iodine deficient in the mid 2000s

              Kids need 90mcg (1-8) or 120mcg (9-14). Milk has 57mcg per 250ml, 2 slices of bread has 35mcg, 2 eggs have 20mcg.

              So I was a little short on my estimate for adults, but for kids that's fine. Add in a bowl of yoghurt (35mcg) and you've basically reached your target.

              Besides iodine deficiency is only when people have <30mcg.

              nothing wrong with having iodised salt as an insurance policy.

              Too much iodine isn't good for you. Just 2 grams of iodised salt (not even half a teaspoon) is the recommended iodine intake if you don't have any of the above.

              For kids 4-8 they only need 300mcg of iodine to experience symptoms of iodine poisoning/toxicity. Idk if thyroid cancer is a good insurance policy.

        Are Australian children iodine deficient? Results of the Australian National Iodine Nutrition Study

        Results: Overall, children in mainland Australia are borderline iodine deficient, with a national median UIE of 104 μg/L. On a state basis, NSW and Victorian children are mildly iodine deficient, with median UIE levels of 89 μg/L and 73.5 μg/L, respectively. South Australian children are borderline iodine deficient, with a median UIE of 101 μg/L. Both Queensland and Western Australian children are iodine sufficient, with median UIE levels of 136.5 μg/L and 142.5 μg/L, respectively. Thyroid volumes in Australian schoolchildren are marginally increased compared with international normative data obtained from children living in iodine sufficient countries. There was no significant association between UIE and thyroid volume.

        Conclusion: Our results confirm the existence of inadequate iodine intake in the Australian population, and we call for the urgent implementation of mandatory iodisation of all edible salt in Australia.

        TL;DR: Keep using iodised salt. Without it, you're liable to become iodine-deficient. If Aussie students were deficient without iodised salt, then adults who require a higher RDI are severely deficient.

        For further information, read ahead: (https://www.thyroidfoundation.org.au/Iodine-Deficiency)

        How do I know if I have an iodine deficiency?

        A person may have low iodine levels without showing symptoms. The most reliable way to check your iodine intake is to ask your doctor to order a urine test. Your doctor may also use a blood test to ensure that your thyroid hormone levels are normal.
        The most visible consequence of iodine deficiency can be a goitre or enlarged thyroid gland. A goitre can be difficult to detect in the early stages, especially in children. An ultrasound is the best method to measure the size, shape and texture of the thyroid.

        Symptoms of hypothyroidism – which can be related to low iodine levels or other forms of ‘underactive’ thyroid disease – include:

        • Lethargy and tiredness, muscular weakness and constant fatigue
        • Feeling cold (even on warm days)
        • Difficulty concentrating, slowed mental processes and poor memory
        • Unusual weight gain
        • Depression
        • Thick puffy skin or puffiness of the face
        • Hair loss
        • Dry Skin
        • Constipation
        • Weak, slow heart beat
        • Enlarged thyroid or goitre

        What are the implications of iodine deficiency for Australia?
        Iodine deficiency affects the whole community and can lead to increasing rates of thyroid disease amongst the general population and higher rate of intellectual impairment in children. Based on overseas studies, it is also estimated that thyroid disease causes about $250 million loss in productivity in Australia each year. There is also the costs to the community for health services to support people with impaired development due to iodine deficiency.

          @GateauBoeuf: Good information, just to anyone reading realise that the same kind of symptoms occur with too much iodine. Don't confuse the two.

    You object to people adding flavours to soy sauce? Do you hate dumpling sauce too? How about teriyaki? Is tamari OK? Where's the line?

    Your life must be fun, always on the lookout for slightly too tasty condiments. Writing letters to the editor about the evils of soy defilers.

    You've inspired me. I wish to join your crusade. I'm drafting my first letter of complaint to General Kum Kee himself!

    Dear Mr Kum Kee,

    I have noted your choice to add flavour to soy sauce to tailor it for specific dishes. I find this offensive, as it is well known that the purity of soy is sacrosanct, and its defilement an offense not only to those of us with the good sense to only buy $0.70 per litre Coles brand, "Savers" sub-brand soy sauce (and even then, only when it is on sale in packs of four for $0.67 per litre), but more importantly the generations of oriental chefs who laboured, master after student, to prefect the low-price, high-yield soy sauce production process. You shame your Kum Kee ancestors with this extravagance. You have forgotten the face of your father, Mr Kum Kee, truly you have.

    — Your not angry, but disappointed and generally testicle-chafed once-customer Joker042.

      Is tamari OK?

      Actually, it's shoyu (soy sauce) that's flavoured (with sugar, wheat and more salt); tamari is just the leftover liquid from making miso paste.

    Lee Kum Kee (Dark Soy Sauce)

    Soy Sauce (40%) (Water, Salt, Soybeans, Wheat Flour), Colour (150a), Sugar, Colour (150c), Salt.

    Coles Soy Sauce

    Water, Defatted Soybean (22%) (Soybean), Ground Wholemeal Wheat (18%) (Wholemeal Wheat Flour), Salt, Preservative (202), Flavour Enhancer (635), Sweetener (955).

    Now I'm white but even I can see the Coles one isn't worth buying lol. At least the Woolies one tries to be soy sauce (even if it needs powder to do so).
