Back in "the old days" when it was recommended to add salt to the process of
making CS, can anyone who has been on the list for that long remember people
suffering adverse effects or were fewer benefits reported from its use?

I have just watched a video on youtube which advocates using almost boiling
water to produce the "desired" yellow colour. Would I be right in thinking
that this will increase the size of the particles and is therefore not
desirable?
