2. Processed Food
Just like fast food, processed and packaged foods also contain a ton of sodium but rarely use iodized salt. If you don’t believe us, start checking labels at the store. Many of these products, even sweet ones, contain more than 20% of your daily sodium allowance in one “serving” (which is likely to be less than you would normally eat).
A diet containing too much sodium puts you at risk for heart disease and high blood pressure, and getting your sodium from processed foods adds little to no critical iodine. That’s why it’s always best to prepare meals fresh at home and salt them using iodized table salt.
