A video published by “clem_le_diet” or “Clément dietician” has garnered more than 1.7 million views on Instagram and more than 39,000 “likes” since its publication on November 8. In this “real”the Instagrammer warns of the potential dangers of cooking pasta with tap water and iodized salt.
“You cook your pasta with tap water, so listen carefully. If you add iodized salt while cooking, the iodine can react with chloramine in the water and form toxic disinfection byproducts. To avoid this, add salt following draining your pasta.“.
The Instagrammer writes in the video description: “Surprising but not worrying!“. It also adds recommendations:
“To avoid this, you can:
* Add salt following cooking
* Cook without a lid
* Use water from another source
* for cooking. Replacing iodized salt with salt without iodine allows you to keep the properties of the salt in the water (taste, effect on starch, etc.)
* Rinse the pasta well following cooking“
He concludes the description of his “real” with “Really nothing to worry regarding or worry regarding.” He finally cites a scientific study “Overlooked Iodo-Disinfection Byproduct Formation When Cooking Pasta with Iodized Table Salt“.
