	Nope. Iodine is needed in your diet, in trace amounts. Not
getting iodine results in, I believe, goiters.

	Table salt _is_ mixed with substances that make it flow better,
and those substances aren't good for your fish. But iodine isn't the
problem. In fact, I'd bet that sea salt has more iodine than table salt.
