Thanks for asking the question.
It is very important to have iodized salt in our diet because iodine in important for the synthesis of a hormone, called thyroxin. It is a very important hormone as it helps in metabolism, growth and development of body and brain. Our body cannot produce thyroxin on its own, so iodine is needed for its production.
Hope I helped.
