Sushi Secrets for Low-Iodine Diets: Your Restaurant Survival Guide

Craving sushi but managing a low-iodine diet? Navigating restaurant menus can feel like dodging hidden traps. Seaweed, soy sauce, and popular fish harbor high iodine levels – but fear not! With the mm food app and these strategies, you’ll enjoy sushi safely.

Why Sushi Challenges Low-Iodine Diets

Sushi staples are iodine landmines:

• Nori (seaweed): Extremely iodine-rich
• Soy sauce: Contains iodized salt
• Fish/seafood: Especially cod, tuna, shellfish
• Roe (fish eggs): Concentrated iodine source
• Sushi rice: Often made with iodized salt
