> There's probably more plastic in the salt than iodine at this point.

Probably not in swiss salt tho (it's usually mountain salt, not sea salt).

I thought it was clear that I meant that in jest. My point was that the amount of iodine is imperceptibly small.

But microplastic in sea salt is a real thing (and might be a bit worrying, personally I now always go for mountain salt, deposited pre-anthropocene era)

What an absurd thing to fixate on. There are a million other things you consume that are going to have more microplastics in them.

Sure. Even still you’re talking about a highly abrasive product often packed in plastic. But none of that is material to my point.

People almost certainly confuse iodine with anticaking agents.
