One more thing, ponder the reason why the government does not put zinv, magnesium and other beneficial microminerals in the water, but pushes so hard to put fluoride in the water. Fluoride is a very toxic element that has no biological function, is not essential, and dopes not prevent cavities (when ingested).

Magnesium deficiency is extremely widespread, and contributes to heart disease and high blood pressure.

In south america, they put FLUORIDE in the salt instead of iodine. This is idiotic and backwards, but they do it because they believed the bullshit from the US government that fluoride is good for youFluoride of course is a poison that does not prevent cavities when ingested. Fluoride also displaces iodine (because they are both halogens) and increases the need for iodine. Fluoride actually damages the thyroid and for many years was a treatment used for hyperthyroidism.

Iodine also displaces mercury and helps the body eliminate mercury.

The solutions, like requiring iodine in salt by law, probably is to require to put a minimum of micro nutrients in the fast foods and in the industrial produced foods.
The cost to add magnesium aspartate to flour is minimal if done in industrial settings.
Or to embed folates in snacks.
