Sorry I keep pressing return and sending emails before I have written

anything.

I have to say I dont mind the taste of Adrenal Dynamite. I only have

one scoop a day for breakfast with fruit juice and berries and

sometimes Kefir and Kombucha whizz in the blender with some flax seeds

and liverlife! Lovely jubbly!!God I sound so sickeningly goody two

shoes its awful and you wouldnt believe how much of camerons birthday

cake i have scoffed today, so its simply not true, just a bad bad

rumour!

Happy new Year to all of you.

Luv caroline

Hi Patience,

You are right about the Cerebos and the anticaking agents. I'd seen

these but had no idea what they were exactly and if good or bad. So

we will probably stick with the Himalayan Sea Salt for now.

Thanks for link, interesting to see that there are more African

countries with a higher content of iodine in their salt!
