You must be a researcher!
Like I said, if you have the money for the expensive stuff and you like it then enjoy. It is certainly not going to do you harm. I got probably a half dozen salts of various types on the shelf of my pantry right now. But while the taste may differ, nutritionally they are just salt.
Just make sure you get your iodine. The repercussions for not getting enough of that in your diet can be most unpleasant.
I have Hashimotos. ..I know much about iodine. ..and a few other things...thanks.
Table salt also has anti-clotting agents blended in which are thought to cause irritation in your blood vessels which artery clogging plaques then stick to.
I was getting to borderline high blood pressure and like clockwork, doctor put me on a low sodium diet. The only sodium I was ingesting was naturally occurring in the food. In order to get to this level, I ate ZERO processed foods. Started losing weight, blood pressure went down and lipid profile improved dramatically. Over time, I continued to eat zero processed food and added salt back to my diet. Blood pressure didn't change at all. In my experience, it is not the sodium that causes metabolic diseases, it is what the sodium is in. Processed foods high in carbs, refined grains, sodium and preservatives are the culprit. You can also approach this from the low carb diet perspective. If you follow a low carb diet, you are not going to be able to eat processed foods and you will get the same results I achieved by not eating "sodium." It's not the carbs, it's what the carbs are in. You could get to the same conclusion following he paleo diet. In short, processed food are not fit for consumption. They will lead you to metabolic disease. Eat real food. Cooking tip: Your ingredients should not have ingredients.
Preachin’ to the choir....some women think they are so cool...not cooking real food...buying prepared stuff...destroying their families health...don’t get me started. :*)
PS...you don’t seem to acknowledge some of the additives to white salt, aluminum silicate for instance...I’ll pass.
But once again, believe what you like.
Yes...I’ll believe what I research.
