An article analysis and commentary on an article about low-salt diets and related media postings.

Consumer eating habits and resultant diet quality has changed over the years. Individuals are eating away from home more often and are eating more processed and ultra-processed foods which contain lower levels of iodized salt. At the same time, consumers are decreasing their intake of iodized table salt (a major source of iodine) and opting for non-iodized salt options, including kosher, Himalayan pink or sea salt that contain little to no iodine. Concerns have been raised that iodine supplements may be needed to prevent mild to moderate iodine deficiencies that have been increasing.
