Iodized: Salt without iodine will likely cause you to get a goiter. Iodine is added in trace amounts to salt to prevent goiters. Some of the salts that are "better for you" do not contain iodine.

Salt: Sea salt is reasonable. There are numerous alternatives to salt: all the Mrs Dash products are decent alternatives and healthy.
