Whats the difference between Iodized salt and non Iodized salt?

As I remember they started adding iodine to salt to keep it from clumping. Have you seen older people putting rice in with their salt? This was to absorb moisture and keep the salt dry. If it gets moist it would clump and would not come out of the shaker holes. The picture on the morton's salt container depicts an example. It has a girl out in the rain spilling the salt. Before iodized salt salt would not come out on rainy days because of all the humidity in the air. That was where the rice came in. Some people still put rice in their salt just out of habit but if you buy iodized salt it is not necessary.
