In Slovakia, another landlocked country with lack of natural iodine from rainfall or diet, dementia became part of the culture. 30% (!!!) of population suffered from dementia. Iodizing salt raised IQ by 10 point every 10~ years but the damage is irreparable…

In Slovakia dementia is on place 2 of the most common death causes. In Slovenia it's on place 19. Crazy.

Oh, and here in Germany it's on place 6?! Wouldn't have guessed!
