We don't use salt from the box.  Oh, maybe twice a year I'll get a fit
of industry and make biscuits or something that needs plain salt, but
if I'm rubbing a chicken or making a marinade we want enough other
flavors in it that I use soy sauce or something like that.  Question
is, since we use table salt much less than the norm, is my kid growing
up more prone to thyroid problems than kids that eat iodized salt
frequently?

Probably a *stoopid* question, sorry, but I had to ask...
