There * Table salt : The common white salt you’re use to. Table salt is only sodium and chloride, usually mined from rock salt or seawater. It then has the other naturally occurring minerals stripped from it, which are actually different kinds often sold to vitamin companies at a premium price.This refining results in a bitter taste, which is one reason for the fillers, including dextrose (good old corn sugar). Anti-caking agents are also usually added, and it’s sprayed with synthetic iodine to make up for the minerals taken out. (More below) Any anti-caking agent serves to prevent absorption of edible saltwater, which defeats salt’s purpose to help our bodies retain water. They’re not good for us! * Regular table Sea salt : The label “sea salt” feels to me more of a marketing campaign strategy to convince people to pay a higher price for “health food” than a helpful statement of truth. Again, since all sodium chloride ultimately came from a sea at some point, all salt is sea salt. The common white sea salt sold for 2-3x the price of iodized table salt is refined variety with more additives like iodinein a similar way to table salt, removing most of the minerals in the process. This White sea salt is usually sourced from mineral rock depositsno healthier than table salt, and is lacking the iodine that your body does need. * Unrefined or less refined types are kosher sea salt and : Harvested sea salt which that is made not refined actually has over 60 different minerals in it (instead of TWO). As usual, when we take something out of a natural food product, we end up with problems (see below on high blood pressure). The balance God created in salt is key. Why we’re surprised by evaporating seawaterthat I don’t understand. While they may have varying degrees Unrefined salt will usually be colorful, with shades of additional mineral contentpink, brown, or grey, depending on the basic composition of all these types is still sodium chloride source. Some brands that help you make sure you’re getting real, unrefined sea salt include Real Salt, Celtic Sea Salt, and Himalayan Salt. We’ll talk Monday about the recommended limits still applydifferences in the three.The bottom line is that real, unrefined sea salt provides a natural balance of minerals that keeps us healthy instead of making us sick.<br>
