Just eat vegetables and then you don't have to worry about getting essential nutrients from random shit like water
what the fuck is iodine (it usually is in random shit like salt)
It's actually added to table salt iirc, but I don't remember the exact function it serves. I did have a boss once tell me she was getting depressed and thought she was dying... Went to her doctor and found out her substituting sea salt (which doesn't usually have iodine) was causing a lot of issues with her mental health. I can't recall the physical issues she had developed, if any at that point. I think she'd only made the substitution a few months or so prior to getting it figured out
Iodine is used by your thyroid for hormone production I believe. Hypothyroidism will cause loads of problems.
And hyperthyroidism will cause many of the same problems, a fair number of opposite problems, and might just kill you rather than bother. Graves disease runs in my family and is aptly named
Yeah untreated thyroid hormone anomalies will do a number on ya, fortunately it's easy and cheap if not obvious to diagnose and treat
Its the reason you dont see goiters everywhere these days
