Guest guest Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 , Surf the message archives... there was alot of discussion on this... and I know Don and I disagree on salt... lol... Sea salt is a broad term that generally refers to unrefined salt derived directly from a living ocean or sea. It is harvested through channeling ocean water into large clay trays and allowing the sun and wind to evaporate it naturally. Manufacturers of sea salt typically do not refine sea salt as much as other kinds of salt, so it still contains traces of other minerals, including iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium, manganese, zinc and iodine. Proponents of sea salt rave about its bright, pure, clean flavor, and about the subtleties lent to it by these other trace minerals. Some of the most common sources for sea salt include the Mediterranean Sea, the North Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean (particularly in France, on the coast of Brittany). Sea salt is thought to be healthier and more flavorful that traditional table salt. Available in coarse, fine & extra fine grain size.

If memory serves, doesn't it have natural occurring iodine in it? And this is a good thing, right??? Hoping I'm giving correct info, and looking to be corrected if I'm not.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Well, we don't actually disagree, we just have opposing points of view on this subject. Hehehe Sodium chloride, NaCl, serves no useful purpose in the human body. The body cannot break the ionic bonds that hold the sodium and chloride atoms together, at least not without great expense on the body's energy reserves. Even dissolved in water the bonds are way too strong for the human body to break. We cannot use any minerals that are considered inorganic. Yes, sea salt is inorganic as is all salt. The human body can only use and is designed only to use organic sodium that is bound with an enzyme and not ionically bound with a chloride ion. Our bodies are only able to use those minerals that are first processed by a plant. Our body can no more digest and utilize salt than it can a stone or a block of granite or marble. Salt goes into the body, travels around the body as salt and exits the body as salt. It goes through no chemical changes while in the body. All the experts tell you that salt is found in the blood. True for those who use salt. For people who don't use salt, salt is never found in the blood. Sodium ions, chloride ions, yes, but not salt. Salt is a poison to the human body, toxic. It is a major contender for causing arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). The body will do everything it can to eliminate salt as quickly as possible. If it can't get rid of it fast enough it will store it in the skin to be eliminated through sweat. The major channels of elimination of salt are urine, sweat, tears and snot. Sounds like a 60's rock group, Urine, Sweat, Tears and Snot. Get all of your minerals from the raw foods that you eat. Cooking renders all the minerals inorganic by killing off the enzyme bound to the mineral. Lots of tender leafy greens and fruits (biologically classified fruits) will provide your body with all the amino acids it needs, all the organic vitamins and minerals it needs, and all the fiber and simple carbohydrates needed to keep your body healthy, wealthy and alive.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Will do, Suzi. Thanks for the info. We also use Kosher salt, because it was given to us. From what I've read of it, it seems almost as beneficial as the good sea salts. If the world were a logical place, men would ride horses sidesaddle. --- In health , Suzanne <suziesgoats@...> wrote: > > , > Surf the message archives... there was alot of discussion on this... and I know Don and I disagree on salt... lol...
