Sea Salt

[Guest guest]

Jagannath,

 

I am so surprised to see the Indian government's plans to ban the

sale of non-iodized

salt.. It is particularily interesting for me, as one of the first

things I ask my patients to do

is to change their ground-sourced, iodized salt to sea salt, along

with changing their main

fat source to cow's ghee. It seems to me that the diversity of

trace minerals in sea salt is

more important than adding only iodine. After all, the sea exists in

us as well as outside

of us. It seems obvious that we should take sea salt. Could it be

that because sea salt is

freely given by the sea, and iodized salt requires processing that

this is some kind of

business ploy to control the salt in India?

What is also interesting about salt is that there is so much

fear about it in America.

Many people do not take it for fear of high blood pressure. This can

be problamatic in

many cases, and may actually cause the artery walls to become hard.

Given this, it is

difficult to convince someone with hardening of the arteries to take

salt (to soften them).

How intersting the issue of salt is these days.

 

Best Regards,

Dear Toni,

 

We too are surprised at this. We are unable to understand why the

Government is trying to restrict the consumption of common salt. We

understand that besides iodized salt the Government is also planning

to introduce iron fortified salt. While such salts may be necessary

for certain sections of the population it does seem incomprehensible

why the common man has to be burdened with such additives.

 

Regards,

Jagannath.
