In supermarkets, there is a wide range of iodized salt products on the shelves. Some consumers are confused as to why salt should be iodized. In fact, salt iodization is closely related to China's policy of "iodine deficiency prevention and control". China was one of the countries with the most widely distributed and serious iodine deficiency diseases in the world, accounting for more than 40% of the world's iodine deficiency population and more than 60% of the population in Asia, with the remote inland mountainous areas being the most affected. The cause of iodine deficiency disease is the insufficient iodine intake.

It is understood that iodine is one of the essential nutrients for human body, and if iodine intake is insufficient, it will easily lead to hypothyroidism, goiter, and even induce follicular thyroid cancer. Salt iodization has the advantages of being safe, effective, easy to implement, inexpensive, and can be adhered to for a long time. Therefore, in order to prevent and control iodine deficiency diseases, the state promotes salt iodization, and iodized salt has become the mainstream product in the salt market.

It should be noted that due to the vast territory of China, there are iodine deficient areas as well as iodine suitable areas and high water iodine areas, so not all people in all areas of the country are suitable for long-term consumption of iodized salt. For people in high water iodine areas, blind consumption of iodized salt may lead to excessive iodine intake, which may also cause abnormal thyroid function, including hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism and autoimmune thyroiditis.

So, how should consumers choose good salt? How can I tell if I am suitable to eat iodized salt? In order to help the residents of China to supplement iodine scientifically, the health administrative departments of the people's governments of each province, autonomous region and municipality directly under the central government have set different iodine content standards for table salt according to the actual iodine nutrition level of the local population. At present, in Hunan, Tianjin, Chongqing, Sichuan, Ningxia, Shanghai, Gansu, Qinghai, Tibet, Henan, Guizhou and Xinjiang (including the Corps), the iodine content of salt is (21~39) mg/kg, while in Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Jilin, Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi, Shandong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Hubei, Hainan, Fujian, Zhejiang and Shaanxi, the iodine content of salt is (18~33) mg/kg of iodine content of salt. Consumers can buy salt according to the iodine content standard of their region, and at the same time, they should recognize the qualified salt products produced by regular enterprises to ensure that the daily iodine intake from salt is scientific and reasonable. For example, Hunan Salt's Xue Tian Iodized Refined Salt helps consumers to supplement iodine scientifically.

It is reported that Hunan Salt is the first modern joint-stock enterprise in the salt industry with inter-provincial association and integrated production and marketing, which always adheres to the enterprise spirit of "melting self, benefiting society" and is committed to ensuring the supply of safe, reliable and qualified salt products. With its strong strength in channels, technology, brand, location and resources, Hunan Salt has created the high-quality salt brand "Xue Tian". Among them, Xue Tian iodized refined salt is made of pure rock salt, with scientific iodine proportioning to help scientific iodine supplementation.

It is worth mentioning that Xue Tian Iodized Refined Salt is refined by the international advanced vacuum salt production process, with a purity of 99.6%, which is much higher than the national superior standard of 99.1%. As a result, the rich sodium ions in this salt combine with the amino acids in the ingredients to form sodium glutamate, which helps to enhance the flavor and freshness of the dishes. In addition, the advanced salt production process also makes Xue Tian iodized refined salt evenly granulated, white and crystal clear, which is suitable for seasoning many kinds of dishes.

Iodine supplementation should be scientific and reasonable, and iodized salt is an effective way to prevent and treat iodine deficiency disorders. If you also want your family to enjoy a nutritious and delicious diet, let Xue Tian Iodized Refined Salt help you.
