◆ 健康：Can eating iodized salt prevent nuclear radiation? Beijing CDC rumors
After Japan’s nuclear sewage was discharged into the sea, there were rumors that "iodized salt can prevent nuclear radiation". Beijing CDC clearly pointed out that this view is incorrect. The purpose of iodizing salt is to prevent and treat iodine deficiency disorders. In a nuclear pollution accident, radioactive iodine is mainly accumulated in the thyroid gland. In the early stage of the accident, it is necessary to take 100mg of "stable iodine" once, which is equivalent to taking 3-5kg of edible iodized salt once.
The Dietary Guidelines for China Residents (2022) clearly states that "adults should not consume more than 5g of salt every day". If excessive intake occurs, it will cause serious burden to various organs of the human body, induce or aggravate cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and chronic nephropathy, and even cause dehydration and even death in severe cases.
