Salt

[Guest Guest_efgh]

Do you all use natural sea salt or iodised salt or table salt with iodine and flouride??

 

Just read an article from Dr Mercola on this and was wanting to know from you all on what kind of salt you use on day to day basis...

thanks.

I use Hain Sea Salt (uniodised)

Thanks.

 

But, I read a lot of articles on the advantages of iodised salt for thyroid , autoimmune problems, mental illnesses etc.

 

Any thoughts??

 

Any specific reason why you choose UNiodised salt?

 

thanks.

We get enough iodine from our multivitamin, so I prefer not to have more from the salt.

The Hain salt is produced from evaporated sea water.

HI,

My 2 cents here.......I so not salt any food, but if I have to , I try to alternate the 2 types , the celtic sea salt and the iodized. DAN DR prefers the former, the sea salt for his patients.

Chemar/Mustang Carole,

 

What is wrong with regular salt? I know that health foods use sea salt, but I never knew why.

 

Are there metals in the table salt?

hi Claire

I must confess I dont know! All I know is that I have always used Hain I grew up with sea salt and so it is just what I use!

Table salt sometimes contains flouride which is generally not recommended though its found for dental caries.

Other than that, table salt may contain food additives like Potassium ferrocyanide which is a by-product of coal gas production with very low toxicity.. In spite of this, many doctors recommend table salt due to the iodisation since iodised salts are supposed to good in many ways.. So, one has to maintain an intelligent compromise..

I have now started using Special sea salt which contains natural magnesium as well.

Hope this helps.
