Methinks you need to concern yourself more about increasing your IQ.

Iodine in non-iodized sea salt Dietary salt is the consensus means of increasing iodine intakes in
populations to combat Iodine Deficiency Disorders. There is little iodine in natural sea salt.
Two studies examine this question:
Fisher and L'Abbe (1980) tested non-iodized sea salt and iodized table salt and sea salt. The
authors found 52.9 - 84.6 micrograms iodine/gram of salt in iodized salt and 1.2 - 1.4 micrograms
iodine/gram in non-iodized sea salt. [see Fisher, Peter W. F. and Mary L'Abbe. 1980. Iodine in
Iodized Table Salt and in Sea Salt. Can. Inst. Food Sci. Technolo. J. Vol. 13. No. 2:103-104. April]
Aquaron (2000) determined iodine content of natural sea salt and rock salt, and iodized salt. The
author found iodine levels of less than 0.71 milligrams iodine/kilogram of salt (micrograms/gram) in
non-iodized salt and 7.65 - 100 mg iodine/kg of salt in iodized salt (depending on the country's
iodine laws). [see Aquaron, R. 2000. Iodine content of non iodized salts and iodized salts obtained
from the retail markets worldwide. 8th World Salt Symposium. Vol.
2:935-940]
