Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that plain kosher salt contains added iodine?

No. A Wikipedia article on kosher salt states plainly that kosher salt does not contain iodine, which is added to table salt to prevent iodine deficiency. Other sources list kosher salt's additives as anti-caking agents rather than iodine, reinforcing that plain kosher salt lacks added iodine.
