Detroit was once well known for its salt deposits

There is so much assault in the Dead Sea, it is so buoyant, you are absolutely right.

The assault is why they call it the Dead Sea. It's downright dangerous to go near it.

I’ve been to the downright dangerous Dead Sea. It is unusual to say the least. The very salty water feels very slick to the touch. I did hear about the potential lethality of swallowing the water so I was careful. A little taste on your tongue will quickly indicate that the water is not something you want in your mouth as it does burn. You also don’t want it to get in your eyes either. So you basically just go in and wade and not go too deep. I did do the touristy thing of floating on ones back and reading a newspaper.

Also any little nick or cut on you will quickly demonstrate the old adage of rubbing salt into a wound if you immerse it in the dead sea. Fortunately I was wound free at the time.

Yeah, I think that was Mayor Nickels. Seattle can sure pick ‘em, can’t they?

“Recycled Dinosaur Whizz”

A microbrewery somewhere has a new product line!

Especially if it’s near a fraternity house.

I heard this and I kept expecting Rush to say it was a joke but he treated it as if it was true. it left me a bit confused.

I have never swam in the Dead Sea but I did swim in Great Salt Lake or rather, I floated in GSL.

There is black salt and white pepper...

That is primarily for rich white people.

Salt is white and pepper is black, isn't that racist too?

Q. Why does aspirin work?

A. 'Cause it's white.

Maybe Jeb Bush politely asked him to leave?

Mahatma Gandhi used to lead marches to the Indian Ocean for his followers to get salt from the sea. I don't know if the Indian Ocean has recovered yet from having that salt removed.

As Shakespeare said, "the evil men do lives after them."

The ponds concentrate the salt as well as every pollutant in the bay. Probably why they closed them down.

I used to wonder about pollutants in that salt, because the bay was polluted. However, they closed them down because environmentalists wanted to restore bay marshlands. Government agencies worked out a land swap with the owners, so that the salt ponds could be shut down and marshland substituted. Real estate is getting so expensive that the owners were going to begin replacing the salt ponds with commercial development (the ponds are all bayfill, half the original bay has been filled to become land). One of the few times that government and environmental groups actually did some good. The result is a cleaner and larger bay.

The iodine that is added is synthetic.

Iodine is an element. There is no such thing as "synthetic" iodine. One iodine atom is just like another (different isotopes aside). The human body cannot determine the source of an iodine atom.

Seawater IS rich in iodine ions, so salt made from seawater would likewise be rich in iodine. The rest of your contentions may be true. I don't know.

I found several articles saying the iodine in table salt is synthetic. Searching again turned up references like this from:
http://www.globalhealingcenter.com/natural-health/iodine-in-salt/

Iodine in salt available at grocery stores, restaurants and in practically all processed foods, have synthetic chemicals added to them. These chemicals may include manufactured forms of iodide, sodium solo-co-aluminate, fluoride sodium bicarbonate, toxic amounts of potassium iodide, anti-caking agents and aluminium derivatives.

So your contention is probably correct, and the inference of synthetic iodine in articles most likely refers to additional synthetic chemicals added to manufactured iodide. Much of what we look for on the Internet when it comes to truth is like following a ping-pong ball; you can't always know where the ball will end up, or what the correct answer is. All you can do is make an informed decision based on your best guess!
