Okay, this is my subject. Grey sea salt, coarse, called celtic sea salt is the next best salt to the salt sold by Dr. Robert Young, phlivingmiracle.com
Regular salt:The Typical Table And Cooking Salt In Your
Grocery Store Has Been 'Chemically Cleaned.'

What remains after typical salt is 'chemically
cleaned' is sodium chloride - an unnatural
chemical form of salt that your body recognizes
as something completely foreign. This form of
salt is in almost every preserved product that
you eat. Therefore, when you add more salt to
your already salted food, your body receives
more salt than it can dispose of.

This is important as over 90% of the money
that people spend on food is for processed food.

Typical table salt crystals are totally isolated
from each other. As a food, table salt is absolutely
useless, and can potentially act as a destructive
poison. In order for your body to try to metabolize
table salt crystals, it must sacrifice tremendous
amounts of energy.

Inorganic sodium chloride upsets your fluid
balance and constantly overburdens your
elimination systems, which can impair your
health.

When your body tries to isolate the overdose
of salt you typically expose it to, water
molecules must surround the sodium chloride
to break them up into sodium and chloride ions
in order to help your body neutralize them.
To accomplish this, water is taken from your
cells and you have to sacrifice the perfectly
structured water already stored in your cells
in order to neutralize the unnatural sodium
chloride.

This results in dehydrated cells that can
prematurely break them down.

You Are Losing Precious Perfectly Structured
Intracellular Water When You Eat Normal
Table Salt?

For every gram of sodium chloride that your
body cannot get rid of, your body uses twenty-three
times the amount of cell water to neutralize the salt.
Eating common table salt causes excess fluid in your
body tissue, which can contribute to:

* Unsightly cellulite.

* Rheumatism, arthritis and gout.

* Kidney and gall bladder stones.

When you consider that the average
person consumes 4,000 to 6,000 mg of
sodium chloride each day, and heavy users
can ingest as much as 10,000 mg in a day,
it is clear that this is a serious and pervasive
issue.

So Why Are Many People Still Using Table Salt?

Because well over 90% of the world's salt is
being used directly for industrial purposes
that require pure sodium chloride. The
remaining percentage is used for preserving
processes and ends up on your kitchen table.

With the use of rigorous advertising, the salt
industry is successful in convincing you there
are actually health advantages to adding
potentially toxic iodine and fluoride to salt.
In addition, your table salt very often
contains dangerous preservatives not
required to be listed on the packaging.
Aluminum hydroxide is often added to
improve the ability of table salt to pour.
Aluminum is a light alloy that deposits into
your brain - a potential causative of
Alzheimer's disease.

I could go on an on about salt....

thanks for posting this! :flowerforyou:

i was frustrated last night because i went over about 500 on my sodium. i made a soup and all the ingredients i purchased were low sodium or lower sodium but it still had over 600mg per serving, and of course i had 2 and then i was over. very frustrating.

hehe-part of the problem was that i added an onion soup packet by accident - duh! that doesnt go in taco soup! so that jacked the sodium way up.

i think we all struggle with keeping the salt low. i am consious of it every day and really try. reading what angelina posted about how much average people consume really did make me feel a little better! :flowerforyou:

of to dink some - a lot - of water! :drinker:

holy laughing cow!! :noway:

i really am trying to make more foods and stay away from lean cuisines - but when you make something that the majority of ingredients come from cans...well, not exactly the healthiest way of doing it. i am proud of the effort though. and being by myself will insure i have a ton of food in the freezer for a WHILE :indifferent:

i am glad to know we are all in the same salty boat.

oh, had hummus on tortilla's with my soup today - SCRUM-YUMMY! :smooched:
