This book grew out of a collection of technical-support web pages. Those pages were also posted to the computational chemistry list server maintained by the Ohio Supercomputer Center. Many useful comments came from the subscribers of that list. In addition, thanks go to Dr. James F. Harrison at Michigan State University for providing advice born of experience.

Iodized Salt. Iodized table salt has been used to provide supplemental iodine to the U.S. population since 1924, when producers, in cooperation with the Michigan State Medical Society (24), began a voluntary program of salt iodization in Michigan that ultimately led to the elimination of iodine deficiency in the United States. More than 50% of the table salt sold in the United States is iodized. Potassium iodide in table salt at levels of 0.006% to 0.01% KI is one of two sources of iodine for food-grade salt approved by the U.S. Food and Dmg Administration. The other, cuprous iodide, is not used by U.S. salt producers. Iodine may be added to a food so that the daily intake does not exceed 225 p.g for adults and children over four years of age. Potassium iodide is unstable under conditions of extreme moisture and temperature, particularly in an acid environment. Sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate is added to increase alkalinity, and sodium thiosulfate or dextrose is added to stabilize potassium iodide. Without a stabilizer, potassium iodide is oxidized to iodine and lost by volatilization from the product. Potassium iodate, far more stable than potassium iodide, is widely used in other parts of the world, but is not approved for use in the United States.

Potassium iodide is added as a nutrient to prevent goiter, a thyroid problem caused by lack of iodine, and to prevent a form of mental retardation associated with iodine deficiency. A project started by the Michigan State Medical Society in 1924 promoted the addition of iodine to table salt, and by the mid-1950s three-quarters of U.S. households used only iodized salt. Potassium iodide makes up 0.06 percent to 0.01 percent of table salt by weight. Sometimes cuprous iodide—iodide of copper—is used instead as the source of iodine.
