SALT IS GOOD FOR YOU --- IF IT'S THE RIGHT KIND
The salt you buy at the store is only sodium chloride; all of the other beneficial elements have been removed.
They then refine this salt.
This is where things go wrong, at least in terms of your health.
The salt is refined to remove impurities, to make it attractive and uniform in appearance, and to extract most of the mineral elements.
When they have finished refining your salt, it looks great, and flows easily out of your salt shaker, but 82 of the 84 mineral elements have been extracted.
They have added chemical additives which bleach the salt whiter, prevent water absorption while the salt is in the box, make the salt flow freely in your salt shaker, and add iodine and iodine stabilizers.
The chemical additives which prevent the refined salt from absorbing water while it is in the box also prevent the refined salt from being properly absorbed in your body.
This is why we are constantly being told that it is harmful to our health to consume too much salt.
Natural salt, which has not been refined, can be consumed in any amount.
As a matter of fact, it is impossible to consume too much natural unrefined salt! Why? Because the body, with its natural affinity for unrefined salt, will simply pass the excess unrefined salt out of our bodies.
Not all sources of sodium and salt are the same.
As far as the body is concerned, there is no connection between the chemically-cleansed sodium chloride table salt you buy in the supermarket (which is also added to virtually every processed food you buy) and the mineral rich organic unrefined sea salt available in health food stores.
One can kill you; the other heals you. In fact, it's essential for life.
