We know that 1 cup of water weighs 8 ounces, but honey, as an example, is thicker than water, so 1 cup of honey actually weighs in at 12 ounces. Powdered sugar right out of the box or the plastic bag weighs 4 1/2 ounces per cup, so a 1-pound box (or 16 ounces) contains about 3 1/2 cups of powdered sugar. If a recipe calls for sifted powdered sugar, weigh out 4 ounces of sifted powdered sugar to equal 1 dry measuring cup.
Iodine enters the body through iodine-rich foods, including certain salts (âiodized saltâ), eggs, sea vegetables and fish. We rely on iodine to create thyroxine (T4 hormone) and triiodothyronine (T3), two of the main hormones produced by the thyroid that control numerous important functions.
That takes a substantial chunk of iodine out of your daily intake, potentially bringing you down to dangerous levels. Iodine from salt is especially important on Paleo because the other significant sources of iodine in the American diet are dairy (a gray area food that many people eliminate) and bread.
