Hi Mike; There is a part of me ( the part I like to think is wise) that tends to trust what comes out of mother nature's laboratory much more than the industrial product. This is why I use butter not margarine. This is why I prefer herbs over medicines and organic foods over factory. This voice is always whispering that the more raw something is, the closer it is to it's natural state, the better. This voice tells that the converse, the more refined anything is, the more goodness has been stripped away and the more unhealthy in terms of preservatives and traces of processing steps are left behind in the product. I, like some others, confound myself at times with doublethink on this front however. For example water purified by reverse osmosis definitely is free of VOC's and chlorine, flourine etc but so are the minerals removed and drinking highly purified water can leach minerals from the body. So I stuggle to understand where the correct balance is at times. Bottled spring water can contain higher than the municipal level of heavy metals. I have wondered about natural salt deposits in this regard although I admit I have been lazy about doing my homework and looking for an assay on alternative salt products. I was told that iodine was added to salt because there were many more cases of thyroid problems in the population before this was done (unless this is disinformation and I am to learn that it aint so and it was just a way to unload iodine from some excess industrial process on an unsuspecting population vis the flouride scene with toothpaste and city water) It is often hard to know who or what to believe unless it is right in your area of knowledge. All I can hope to do is fight laziness and keep looking for information. This list is a goldmine in this regard and I can never give enough thanks for all I have learned from all the contibuting members here. BTW the sea salt I use doesn't pour well. I regard this as encouraging. What have 'they' done to regular table salt to make it run so easily hmmm? I wonder. Joe M&K DuPree wrote:
