The best salt is Celtic Sea Salt. It has over 80 minerals in it.

This is a planned control system meant to coincide with Socialized Medicine. If they pass Health Care they will have us all living in Rubber Rooms and wearing Obama Safety Suits. To cut Health Care Costs.
My wife’s cardiologist recommends she drink salty sports drinks as her potassium level drops when she is sodium depleted.
I love salt. I consume lots of it.
The science is largely irrelevant to this issue. Whether sodium is good for my health, bad for my health, or has no effect on my health, in a free society it is my choice to decide if I want to consume it, and in what amounts.
Don't like sodium? Don't consume it. Don't like restaurants with salty food? Go somewhere else. It's really pretty simple. There's no need to force one set of preferences on everyone else.
I agree with the article in this respect. It is not because we eat ‘too’ much, but what they ‘add’ to the food we eat.
Besides, It isn’t the salt that is the problem, it is the sugar.
And they add BOTH to pretty much everything, especially beverages(in order to make you eat and drink more).
Salt retains water.
Ya want to lose weight? Stop your salt intake.
Simple deal.
I recently had some problems, had been eating Doritoes off and on. Found out that they have a lot of MSG in them and stopped eating them. Lol, all the things we like seem to be bad for us.
.
Yup
I agree
[Yup I agree]
What, that our bodies let us know - or that all things we like are bad for us? LOL
.
Some of both
I guess
Take that with a grain of salt
Lol, throw that salt over your right shoulder!
I seem to find threads that end when I post, maybe it’s telling me something...

The saline solution
I need to look up quotes about ‘few words’.
I have been making an effort to eat more salt. I believe I am developing thyroid trouble, and the thyroid needs iodine, which is delivered in salt. Normally, I don’t eat much salt.
I saw an article not long ago in a more scientific source, questioning the push towards regulating salt. Studies have shown that control of salt intake is a tightly controlled mechanism, and there is not much variance between salt intakes world wide. It is between about 2100 and 4300 mg.

Including mercury and other contaminants. It is also wet.
The best salt is RealSalt. Is Your Salt Real?
Long before the earth knew pollutants of any kind, a huge, ancient sea covered what is now North America. Pure, natural salt was the main ingredient of this sea, and over millions of years, the water evaporated, leaving the salt in undisturbed deposits. At some point during the earth’s Jurassic era, a range of volcanos erupted around the ancient sea bed, sealing the salt with layers of thick volcanic ash, protecting these precious deposits against the pollution that man would eventually introduce into the environment. Near the small town of Redmond, in central Utah, approximately 200 miles south of Salt Lake City, we extract this hand-selected salt from deep within the earth, and bring it to you in its pure, natural state-without any additives, chemicals, or heat processing. This is Real Salt, full of flavor and natural goodness-the way salt was meant to be savored!
The only salt comparable to RealSalt is Himalayan salt, and RealSalt has cost advantage. Plus it is “Made in the USA”. RealSalt and Himalyan salt were laid down in ancient seabeds eons ago - contamination free. And dry. You do not have to pay for water. Try RealSalt, you won’t likely go back! :)
