Citation please? I find this very hard to believe for a number of reasons.
1) Most salt intake in the US is through packaged and prepared foods, not table salt.
2) The American Thyroid Association disagrees with you - "In the United States, iodine status has remained generally adequate in the last 2 decades"
3) There are many commonly consumed foods in the US that contain iodine other than iodized table salt
