They have done extensive analyses. Go to the website of Grain & Salt Society or call 1-800-TOPSALT and ask to speak to Selina DeLangre.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2001 Report Share Posted July 19, 2001 Sorry Nina, I went through the society's website and found no analysis of their product. Nothing that would satisfy an engineer or researcher. They don't compare their product to " land " salt, only to refined " land " salt. I personally feel that their product is better from being unrefined, but raw salt from the great salt lakes is most likely very similar. Seems to be successful marketing more than anything else. We want so hard to believe... Chuck I'm not a vegetarian because I love animals-- I'm a vegetarian because I hate plants!

I'll have to give Selina a call and ask her for the data again. (I didn't know whether it would be on the website or not.) You raise good points; I just can't remember why sea salt is supposed to be superior. If you don't hear from me within 4 weeks (I have writing deadlines and may not get to it), write me privately and remind me to straighten this out. We'll either find that it's all marketing BS, or some very interesting data. Thanks. Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
