==>Hi Steve. Welcome to our fine group.

> I have a question about sea salt. I currently use a brand found at

my supermarket called " Cerulean Seas Sea Salt " . It looks very

natural, and in the ingredients it only lists " sea salt " .

>

> Now, Ive just read thru the article in the files section here titled

" Table Salt Is Poison " , and it certainly causes some concern.

Statements like this one are certainly eye openers: " Your table salt

is actually 97.5% sodium chloride and 2.5% chemicals such as moisture

absorbents, and iodine. Dried at over 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit, the

excessive heat alters the natural chemical structure of the salt

causing the potential for a myriad of health problems in your body. "

> I guess my question would be, is my Cerulean Seas sea salt safe, or

is it potentially harmful in some way (like table salt)? I guess

part of this question would be, is the term " sea salt " regulated in

any way? Does marketing a salt as sea salt mean that it has none of

the moisture absorbents and things added to it? Or is the term " sea

salt " mostly unregulated, meaning companies can process it however

they want. I would think they would need to list additives in the

ingredients at least? And are companies free to heat their sea salts

to 1200 degrees, changing its chemical structure as mentioned above?

==>Cerulean Sea Salt is collected on the shores of California, and

the ad states " with an eye towards purity " . I couldn't find out how

it was processed so I wouldn't trust it. Also good ocean sea salt

costs money, and this sea salt is many times cheaper (14.5 oounces of

course ground is $2.99, while 1 lb. (16 oz.) Celtic Sea Salt sells

for $10.00 US.

==>Finding out how it is processed and harvested is key (Celtic is

only harvested with wooden paddles, no metal). Until then, or until

you can get a good ocean sea salt like Celtic of Himalayan use it

minimally; in other words do not use it in my electrolyte drink.

There are quite small packages available at most health stores if you

don't have the cash flow.

==>The purpose of taking enough good ocean sea salt is not only for

the quality of sodium and chloride (2 of 7 macrominerals required by

the body), but also for all of the trace minerals it contains. Lower

quality ocean sea salts are also out there, but many have only 54

minerals (some much less) compared to these, which have 84 plus.
