I know this may sound a little off the wall, but the difference between table salt and sea salt, is that sea salt has a bunch of different chemical salts mixed in with the sodium chloride in sea salt. Most people can’t taste the difference.
But if you can, and you don’t like it, this may mean something, as in having medical significance.
Sea salt typically, in addition to its chloride and sodium, has:
2701 ppm sulfate
1295 ppm magnesium
416 ppm calcium
390 ppm potassium
145 ppm bicarbonate
Along with a whole host of other, trace minerals. Magnesium and calcium compounds may make sea salt taste bitter.
But it might be a good idea to do a simple taste test, to see if there is a particular salt that tastes very bad to you. If there is, it might be well worth mentioning to your doctor.
To start with, most grocery stores sell potassium salt as a salt substitute, as well as Epsom salts, which are magnesium salt, and baking soda, which is sodium bicarbonate.
Just a little bit in an ounce of water, of each of these, just to taste, not swallow, and if one of them tastes awful, though none of them should taste good, it is worth mention.
Thank you.
Now let's be real. Somehow, sea salt got marketed as being good for you....well kinda...
So, now, folks have two kinds of salt in their cupboard. It's a fad....I don't buy products that say sea salt and I'll never again buy regular sea salt...and if it doesn't sell, it will disappear.
I'm back to using my iodized salt.
Buying sea salt is as dumb as buying bottled water when all you have to do is turn on the tap(though I keep some for emergency).
FADS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
