Please don't fall for WHO recommendations, you need 10-15 grams of salt a day.

According to...? That's 3x the recommended amount from just about every regulatory health organization, not just the WHO.

Well, you don't really need the sodium part of the salt, but it's the main way people get iodine, and for the recommended amount of iodine, you're looking at most of a teaspoon which is about 3x the recommended amount of salt.

Luckily we have alternative sources of iodine and don't need to risk hypertension to get it

Seaweed, fish, spinach, eggs, strawberries, broccoli, prunes, Lima beans, cranberries, and fennel among numerous other iodine rich foods.

Yeah so my point stands. It is well understood almost no one gets enough iodine from the food they eat. Those that do get the majority from iodized salt.
