• Usage of Iodized salt is advisable to avoid the deficiency of Iodine. If the intake of iodine is low, the release of thyroxine from the thyroid gland will be decreased. This affects fat, carbohydrate and protein metabolism. Thus a person may have goitre problem in case if the intake of iodine is lowered.

It is advised to use iodized salt because it prevents goitre(enlargement of thyroid gland). Iodine is also required to maintain proper functioning of thyroid gland.
