#5Burger King continued to use iodized salt consistently, while McDonalds, Wendys etc have switched to flakier salts for their fries which cuts total sodium overall by being flatter instead of grainy, but without any iodine added to it.
The downward trend in fast food began in the 70s, once sodium was seen as bad, so more salty tasting thin crystals were preferred.

I also prefer cooking with the flakier stuff because I can grab a pinch of it and sprinkle it in a controlled way.
I try to use iodized salt when it’s convenient: when salting pasta water, in baking, etc… but I wonder if my family is getting enough.

I agree, but not forget washing hands and using antiseptics where it makes sense.
