> iodine adds a bad metallic taste

I cannot disagree more! Iodine is an essential part of sea salt. Rock salt is bland and boring in comparison. That said, I agree that refined salt is much worse.

"Iodine is an essential part of sea salt."

Naturally occurring iodine (in sea salt) does not compare in dosage to fortified (table) salt.

IIRC, fortified salt is recommended because iodine is uncommon in normal diets.
