Morning Gerri,
Sorry it took a while. I have been busy. A
season mail order business slipped up on me.
It always does. Only done it 25 years. After 25
more, maybe it won't. but the dates vary from year to
year.
==================
>>Hi Wayne,
>>If you have researched salt, I'm sure you have
found that all salt is not good for you.
>>The only salt that is actually good for you is
the Himalayan Salt, from everything I have read.
>> Best wishes, Gerrie
===========
I would say, NO, I have not researched salt. If
so, I would know much more and know all I want to
know. Neither is true. Most of what little I
know came in bits and pieces, and observation over
about 40 years. Still not the same as researching it.
Of course the many lies are a problem, researching anything.
==================
Now, .......... you opened a can of worms, so I guess I best feed them.
Something at least.
And let me say, I wonder if you have in fact
researched salt, or anyone else. Because no one had much to say.
>> I'm sure you have found that all salt is not good for you.
Virtually any salt, the worst in the world will
keep you alive. No questions asked.
And as far at the table salt killing you, I have
eater a fair amount over the years
And my Aluminum in the heavy metal test is off the chart on the low side.
Everything you eat is a chelating agent.
People do not give the body chemist and credit to
make up for our mistakes and short commings in
food selection. But ........ reset assured, it does the job in Grand Style.
As to the many claims for the Himalayan Salt, I
think they are exaggerated. I have enjoyed all
those things for many years, ....... without Himalayan salt.
Likewise mankind has lived for hundreds and
thousands of years ...... Without Himalayan Salt.
It is a bit exaggerated to call it a mineral
supplement, as only 2 % of the weight is minerals,
98 % sodium chloride. Not to mention that it is
over priced. Just because one spends a lot of
money does not guarantee anything.
Salt has a relatively simple definition..........
Sodium and Chloride. Nothing more, Nothing less.
Chemically, it is 60.663% elemental chlorine
(Cl) and 39.337% sodium ( NA ) The atomic
weight of elemental chlorine is 35.4527 and that
of sodium is 22.989768. These values checked with my chart.
Where does all this leave us ?
There is a conspiracy against salt to make more
people sick and more people go to the doctors.
Instead, they could tell us the truth, .......... if they knew.
And yes, I keep a container of salt in every back
pack, every fanny pack, every vehicle I drive and
in survival bags. Usually a vial of salt in my
pocket, and eat a small amount several times per day.
I am not worried about getting too much salt. My
genius body chemist know just what to do,
in virtually every case.
Some interesting notes below on Himalayan
Salt. I am not saying they are all true, but
worthy of thought and more research.
I do think many have been conned, by all the salt
CRAP, including the Himalayan Salt
================
Healthy 19- to 50-year-old adults should consume
1.5 grams of sodium and 2.3 grams of chloride
each day -- or 3.8 grams of salt -- to replace
the amount lost daily on average through sweat
and to achieve a diet that provides sufficient
amounts of other essential nutrients.
================
====================
How much salt is too much?
The
<http://www.cnpp.usda.gov/Publications/NutritionInsights/insight3.pdf>dietary
guidelines for Americans clearly show lower
amounts of sodium in the diet. Currently, 2300
milligrams is the recommended amount. However, a
typical American diet ranges from 3000 to 5000
milligrams of sodium. For our bodies to survive,
we need about 500 milligrams. A teaspoon of salt
is close to the 2400 milligrams.
===========================
Sodium is necessary for life and chloride is also...................
============== A few more Lies........... Any Fool knows this.
Preventing or treating sodium loss due to
excessive sweating or
<http://www.drugs.com/cdi/sodium-chloride.html#>dehydration.
It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Sodium Chloride is an electrolyte supplement. It
works by supplying a source of sodium for the body.
==============================
================== I have a problem with the term below, "Perfect Sodium" !
Salt Facts
SODIUM is the major element in the transportation
of most minerals in the living body. It is
therefore essential for the living body to
function correctly. If you remove sodium
completely from your diet you will die in around
36 hours. A lack of sodium can cause cramps and
neurological problems. If you're experiencing
cramps or muscular dysfunction it could simply be
you are lacking the essential sodium.
Minrosa health crystal ensures you are getting
the perfect SODIUM your body needs to function correctly
===============================
Origin of Himalaya Salt
It is claimed that the magic salt is coming
from the Karakorum (Ferreira, 2002). However, as
pointed out by the group TourismWatch (No.28 and
No.30) there is no salt mine to be found anywhere
in this Himalayan region. Most of the salt was
coming from the second largest salt mine in the world, in Pakistan.
After the boom began, it was found that even
ordinary road salt was being sold as Himalaya Salt by ruthless opportunists.
At 1 kg in 100 liters, and at a fluoride content
of 300 ppm, this is the same as bathing in water fluoridated at 3 ppm.
================ What a Bargain ? 2 % at often a price 200 % higher !
Mineral composition
The
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bavaria>Bavarian
consumer protection agency Bayerisches Landesamt
für Gesundheit und Lebensmittelsicherheit
analyzed in 2003 15 specimens of Himalaya salt
sold in Germany and could detect a total of 10
different minerals: sodium and chloride (98%) and
other minerals. This agency states that these
salts are coming from
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistan>Pakistan
and may be harmful in the case of
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertension>arterial
Hypertension
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Himalayan_salt#cite_note-0>[1].
German public television broadcaster
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZDF>ZDF presented
the analyzed chemical composition of
Himalaya-salt made by
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineralogist>mineralogist
Michael Siemann of the technical university of
Clausthal (TU Clausthal Germany) who states that
the specimen contained 95-96% sodiumchloride and 10 different minerals.
