Reply to comment by imapassenger1 in TIL A 2017 study found that the introduction of iodized salt in 1924 raised the IQ for the one-quarter of the population most deficient in iodine. by kstinfo

I believe it's called kosher salt because it's used to make other things (meats) kosher, not because it is kosher. All salt is kosher.

also while kosher salt is not about iodine content, i'm pretty sure it's generally not iodized. i've never seen iodized kosher salt, personally, anyway.
