If it's iodine deficiency that causes depression, then why would decreasing intake of iodized salt help?

He's saying that a decreased iodine intake due to eating organic foods causes mild depression.

Sorry for the poor phrasing. Decreasing salt intake is a healthy thing to do these days, which will likely also decrease one's iodine intake.

It's not. We don't really know for sure.

He said decreasing intake would inadvertently cause mild depression, not help. (I read it that way too at first)
