Sea Salt Vs. Iodized Salt
 

Any less health risks using seal salt like the myths say?

I'm getting old and I love salt. Some say that sea salt is less dangerous in a health sense.

whatta ya think?

sea salt is da bomb

If the only salt you intake is sea salt, and don't get enough iodide from other sources, then yes there is a severe health risk.

My mom read in a scientific article that Sea Salt is better for your health...

all I know is that sea salt is the thing that makes you float .. the dead sea and all . .


my doctor told me once that salt be bad . . non salted food be better

I love mc donalds though . ;and they be using many salts on their fries . . didnt ask them yet if its sea salt or iodized salt . . will do next time * and keep you updated

A1R3K, there is this soul food place in the valley on Lankershim. It's called "Miss Peaches" That guy makes fried chicken with sea salt. FFUUUCCCCCKK!!!! It's the BEST fried chicked I've ever had.

Sea salt is the BEST!

I ate there every day for a week once. That might explain why I got a NASTY fucking kidney stone, but the food was still good.

i dont like too much salt,although if i had to pick my poison i would go with sea salt.

no shit! i gotta try that place. eugooglizing it now. thanks, errrrrrr just kept reading, maybe not thanks. hahaha.

thanks everyone, i'm not mr. like hospitals, so whatever i can do now to limit my chances of seeing one anytime soon is prob smart.

fuck, i am gonna not be able to handle not drinking. :(

Here is my take on sea salt vs table salt: table salt is created using additives and extremely high temperatures. The additives make the salt later longer, not clump together, stuff like that. Sea salt is always (almost) pure and unrefined which is why it's better. I think they say most of the additives in table salt cannot properly be absorbed into the bloodstream and therefore builds up in your arteries. I'd think the most important thing when buying salt is to look for 'unrefined'.

sea salt all the way.... I dont use anything else

Guh. Where do people come up with this shit? Do you get your information from http://www.iheardfromafriendwhoheardfromafriend.com?

a reliable source :thumbsup

sea salt from trader joes tastes Great and its so salty i dont use as much as the bunk shit

Sea salt is better for you...taste and health

What did I say that was blatantly wrong?

Okay, it's not a real study, but if you google for a while you'll find numerous pages that say the same thing. Not fact, but it's enough to make an impression.

Enough said.

You want to get 'Maldon' brand sea salt. It's from the U.K and in flakes rather than crystals. Amazing stuff...you'll never use anything else.

Please enlighten me with the facts; I'm always down for learning.

less salt is the best

My buddy swears by it.

All water intake is mixed with sea salt, he won't drink water without it.

I don't know personally but he's pretty fuckin healthy for smoking 2 packs of nonfilters per day...

Table salt has nothing in it that makes it, in your own words, "build up in your arteries". Perhaps you are thinking about cholesterol?

Table salt is primarily made up of sodium and chloride (same as sea salt). The main difference in table salt from sea salt is it contains trace amounts of iodide; if you do not get sufficient iodide intake, you are subject to various health problems (most commonly goiter) and eventually lack of iodide will lead to death. Table salt also contains some magnesium carbonate to prevent the salt from sticking together.

Table salt content is at a minimum 95% sodium/chloride, the remainder of which is magnesium carbonate and iodide (usually either potassium iodide or iodate). Typically, the majority of table salt is made by shooting water into salt deposits (a salt mine), then evaporating the slurry until just the salt remains.

Sea Salt contains up to 4x more magnesium than table salt has in it. It also has a rather large amount of sulfate in it which may give it its more unique taste.

Sea salt is a must on carne asada.

I like that sea salt isn't quite as "salty"

iodized salt is better !

Sea salt contains far more than just sodium chloride; it's one of the most complex natural chemicals on the planet. It even contains a trace of gold. :)

sea i guess :)

Sea salt is more natural, so mu choice is sea salt.

That's because his tastebuds are gone from smoking so much, and he needs extra flavor. :2 cents:

Yes sea salt is alot better for you. Or so they say :)

Using sea salt in your eye drops is the best!

I'm a big sea salt fan for anything I eat and a big epsom salts fan for the bathtub. :thumbsup

:2 cents: If it can't be properly absorbed into the bloodstream, how can it then build up in your arteries? - think about what is the bloodstream!


Then it would come out in your shit...
The deposits he's talking about are kidney stones - the one and ONLY place where salt attacks. Drinking plenty of (non-diuretic) fluids is the key to preventing kidney stones, high salt or not :2 cents:

I love sea salt, taste is far better.
Howver I just read a report last week that says the average North American gets six times the daily dose of salt required without adding any to his or her food.
So I would guess adding any salt is not real good for you.
