Mineral Salt vs. Table Salt
Common table salt is extracted from seawater, which can contain harmful pollutants and toxins. This sea salt is then heated, refined, and processed, whereby all of its original mineral properties are stripped. Iodine, which occurs naturally in sea salt, is lost in the processing and re-added artificially to table salt. Additives, preservatives, and chemicals might be added to ensure a smooth consistency and a white color. In addition, aluminum is often used as an anti-caking agent for table salt and may be adverse in some individuals. Aluminum has also been implicated in promoting Alzheimer's disease.
The anti-caking agent in table salt prevents it from dissolving in water and fluids within our bodies, resulting in a build-up and formation of salt deposits in our organs and tissues. This can cause severe health problems and high blood pressure, as our bodies are not equipped to handle large amounts of sodium. Healthy individuals can tolerate some excess sodium if it is in a naturally occurring form that our bodies can readily use or excrete. Predictably, the average American who uses refined salt is overdosed on sodium, consuming between 5000 and 6000 mg of sodium per day with the RDA being less than 2400 mg per day.
