Do you know why Sal is iodinated?
In 1953, Brazilian legislation made the addition of iodine to salt mandatory..
The addition of iodine to salt has the function of preventing serious diseases, caused due to the deficit of this mineral in the body.
This is so important that iodizing salt has become a worldwide commitment coordinated by Unicef.

Is salt an important source of nutrients? MYTH!
The concentration of minerals in the salt is very low in relation to our body’s daily needs.
A great example of such minerals is Calcium! Important for our health, it is recommended to consume 1,000mg of this mineral daily (IDR). .
To obtain this amount from the calcium present in the salt, we would have to ingest 313 grams of salt per day! Which would be much, much more than the WHO recommendation of 6 grams per day.
Foods rich in calcium include cod, chickpeas, kale and Minas cheese, among other delicacies.
