    Question: Iodine is used to enrich –

    Options:

    Salt
    Pepper
    Ghee
    Milk

    ✅Explanation:
    Iodine is an essential trace element that is crucial for the production of thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolism and growth. Iodine deficiency can lead to a variety of health problems, including goiter (enlarged thyroid gland) and hypothyroidism. To prevent iodine deficiency, many countries add iodine to table salt, a process known as iodization. Iodized salt is a simple and effective way to ensure that people get enough iodine in their diet.

    🛑 Additional Information:::
    Iodised salt is table salt mixed with a minute amount of potassium iodide of the element iodine.
    The ingestion of iodine prevents iodine deficiency.
    Deficiency also causes thyroid gland problems, including "endemic goitre".
    Iodine is a micronutrient and dietary mineral that is naturally present in the food supply in some regions, especially near sea coasts.
    Where natural levels of iodine in the soil are low and the iodine is not taken up by vegetables, iodine added to salt provides the small but essential amount of iodine needed by humans.
