It is advisable to eat with food. The previous iodized salt was made by adding potassium iodide to salt, but because potassium iodide is easily oxidized in the air, it will cause the loss of iodine, and the price is more expensive. Therefore, in 1989, China did not add potassium iodide to salt, and added it. Potassium iodate (KIO 3 ). Potassium iodate is a strong oxidant. It cannot be oxidized in air or in the presence of light. Potassium iodate is an ion crystal and has a high boiling point and is not volatile. Therefore, it is not necessary to emphasize cooking before panning or Add salt when eating. Some popular science articles emphasized that iodized salt must be stored away from light, and iodized salt should be avoided early in cooking. This is actually referred to as potassium iodide, which does not exist for potassium iodate. Although iodized salt will not be oxidized in the air, it should be kept well sealed to prevent it from being reduced.
Iodine intake is high in the country
The World Health Organization recommends 6 grams of salt per person per day, but Chinese citizens generally exceed 20 grams. This requires the provision of iodine-free salts for human selection at the same time, otherwise there is a high risk of excessive intake of iodine.
Precautions
Iodized salt has made great contributions to helping people supplement iodine and prevent diseases, but to make iodized salt work fully, it needs to pay more attention in daily life.
First, iodized salt should be bought less and eaten in time. Buy iodized salt should not be too much at a time, you can eat and buy again to avoid the volatilization of iodine.
Second, do not add too much vinegar when eating iodized salt. When iodine is combined with acidic substances, its efficacy will be affected. When iodized salt is eaten with vegetables with sour taste (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, etc.), its efficacy will also be affected.
Third, iodized salt should be placed in a container, sealed and stored in a cool, ventilated, dark place to ensure its effectiveness.
Fourth, we must grasp the timing of the release of iodized salt. Iodized salt is volatile due to heat, so when cooking or soup, because of the higher temperature, should not be placed in iodized salt, salt should be placed in the dish or food fast when the iodized salt.
Two kinds of people
Iodized salt has great benefits for people's health, but not all people are suitable for iodized salt. According to medical experts, there are two groups of people who can not eat iodized salt, that is, people in areas with high iodine and because of treatment of diseases (such as thyroid disease ) Not suitable for iodized salt. Relevant documents stipulate that these two peoples can use relevant certificates to purchase salt that is not iodinated in the shops set up by the salt industry.
How to eat iodized salt before it is safe
Different groups of people of different sexes and ages need different amounts of iodine. The amount of iodine required by a person at different times is also different. Iodine salt should be reasonably consumed according to one's own circumstances. [4]
Patients with thyroid diseases who have iodized salt must be prescribed by a doctor and decide on their own to exacerbate the condition.
Know where you live is iodine-deficient, iodized or iodized areas. Then, in combination with its own iodine intake, it is decided whether to eat iodized salt. [4]
According to the survey, the risk of iodine deficiency is higher in pregnant women in coastal cities in Shanghai, Zhejiang, and Fujian. Therefore, local "quasi-mothers" should pay attention to iodine supplementation.
Salty people eat iodized salt intake of iodine is relatively high, it is appropriate to reduce the consumption of iodized salt or in the future to eat less salt containing iodine. [4]
People in high iodine areas may not eat iodized salt if they drink local water, and may need to eat iodized salt if they drink bottled or purified water from non-local water sources.
People living in areas suitable for iodine, if the diet usually contains more iodine-rich foods, they can be eaten with iodized salt and non-iodized salt. In the future, they can also eat salt with less iodine to regulate their iodine nutritional status.
