Hi Mike I "googled it" and found that, in most cases, kosher salt does not contain iodine. Here's a link to an entry at wikipedia's website: http://yahoo.shoptoit.ca/shop/product--catId_1002879__locale_en__productId_643807.html. I assume you could buy it in regular or maybe ethnic grocery stores in Canada. But I live in the US and have no idea... Here's a link to a Canada Yahoo Shopping page selling kosher salt: http://yahoo.shoptoit.ca/shop/product--catId_1002879__locale_en__productId_643807.html Hope that helps! :-)

From: bgl on 9 Sep 2008 16:07 I'm sure you can get some more help from Thryvors -- a Canadian thyroid cancer survivor http://www.thryvors.org/ or from the general ThyCa group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Thyca/ -- join & post your questions there, I know there are Canadians among the several thousand list-members, & *lots* of LID-related messages. I've heard that "pickling salt" in un-iodized & I think some Canadian thycans use that. Not all Kosher salt is un-iodized so you can't just go by that. There are Low Iodine Cookbooks -- a free version on the ThyCa site and a professional one available through amazon The Low Iodine Diet Cookbook by Norene Gilletz -- as well as The Thyroid Cancer Book by M. Sara Rosenthal, Ph.D Best wishes to your mom. bj "Mike" <mike(a)nike.com> wrote in message news:PXvxk.263918$gc5.233861(a)pd7urf2no... > My mom is going in to have her thyroid removed because of thyroid > Cancer.
