[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We eat a lot of seaweed, however not really the snack packs you are talking about.

We eat the dried seaweed that is rehydrated and used for soups and salad.  This is a main staple in our home, as it is a vegetable that is insanely easy to prepare and keeps in the pantry forever. It is salty, but there is no added salt. It is salty from the sea.  Iodine is added to processed salt.

Most of the snack packs I've seen contain MSG, which is why we avoid. [/quote]

But that minimally processed seaweed does have a very high level of naturally occurring iodine, which is the issue about which the OP is concerned.[/quote]

Well I'm guest guessing that if a family is eating a good amount of minimally processed seaweed, they are not exactly eating the other kinds of foods that have a lot of added salt that certainly contains iodine, such as processed foods and junk foods. I would bet that they use sea salt and not table salt when salting their food. A seaweed eating family probably has nothing to worry about in area of nutrition.[/quote]
