What is the reason for avoiding prolonged cooking of iodised salt at high heat?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To reduce iodine loss

Iodised salt is used to supply iodine, a micronutrient needed for thyroid hormone production and normal growth and development. Prolonged exposure to heat, moisture and cooking conditions can reduce the amount of iodine retained in food. Adding iodised salt near the end of cooking and storing it in a covered, dry container helps conserve iodine. Heating does not meaningfully convert salt into fibre or protein and does not remove its sodium in the intended way.
