Salt CURE | Home | Unrefined Ocean Salt versus Refined Table Salt
| | Salt is an essential element in the diet of not only humans but of animals, and even of many plants.
It is one of the most effective and most widely used of all food seasonons and natural preservatives.
Seasalt's Hidden Powers by Jacques de Langre, PhD
(Book Excerpts)
From Chapter 1 "Definition of Sea Salt"
Regular over the counter table salt is one of the worst things for you! It is mined from large natural sea salt deposits underground where they take the natural salt and basically take out everything that is good, and are left with Sodium Chloride (table salt). This is ideal for melting snow and other industrial uses all which leave eating it a minority. Eating too much refined salt can be hazardous to your health. However all the minerals your body needs are in sea salt, there is no need to worry about eating too much. Your body will use the minerals it needs and instead of trying hard to find more, as would be the case with regular refined salt, it just disposes of any excess it doesn't want. As a result, it really isn't bad at all for you. The bad salt is the store bought refined salt. All they try to do is make it look good and flow through a salt shaker. The makers of table salt do a good job at one thing, they remove the one thing that is good in salt! All of the minerals that were in it, approximately 84, only 2 remain.
Unrefined Ocean Sea Salt is harvested near the coast. Ocean water, rich in a wide variety of minerals, is channeled into a series of clay-lined ponds. The wind and sun evaporate the ocean water, leaving a mineral-rich brine. This live mixture is briskly stimulated by the salt farmer, and dazzling salt crystals form. The Salt is then gathered by hand using wooden tools. This harvesting method preserves the vital balance of the minerals found in Unrefined Ocean Salt. Common table salt lacks minerals and trace elements because it is purified and refined, leaving only sodium and chloride. After refining, common table salt is mixed with iodine, bleaching agents, and anti-caking agents to create a purely white, free-flowing product. Even many salts labeled “sea salt” are washed or boiled, which removes minerals and trace elements from the salt.
