I was editing and didn't see your post.

It seems unreasonable to me that a recent product is capable of such insidious destruction, over such a long short period of time, without many continual warnings noticed by at least thousands of people.

Its worth noting that the 90% figure is for table salt brands, and only those sampled. You're probably right about the numbers being somewhat inflated, but considering that most table salt is distilled from seawater, I think that's pretty strong evidence that most bodies of salt water are contaminated.

I think if you took only samples from dry sources of salt, this number would be much lower.

The article implies, if not outright states, a broader sample.
