Guest guest Posted February 3, 2002 Report Share Posted February 3, 2002 >> I have read the info on Celtic sea salt in light of what I believe regarding Sodium/Potassium balance in the human body, the super-abundance of Sodium in our diet, etc. and have determined that celtic sea salt is still mainly Sodium chloride. >>> Very True: But have you read that the trace salts in sea water are almost exactly the same as the trace salts in the blood of a healthy person? >>> It may be purer & have less detrimental additives than normal table salt, but it is still salt.

Maybe I am just not seeing it, but it looks like just hype to me. Good advertizing for their salt being masked as fact...................... Not saying it is bad salt. As salt goes, it is probably better than most because of its unrefined nature & because it has no additives. But it is still salt & too much salt is not (IMO) good for one.>>> REPLY Too much salt is bad! Table salt is bad! Get a course in beginning chemistry--salt like celtic sea salt and other sea souces that still contain the traces of many other salts are the reason some promote " sea salts " . There is little mystique; Just study your blood chemistry. Get a mouse and feed it food devoid of those trace minerals --let us know how long it lives. We get most of those trace mineral salts from our other food- but why take a chance on missing one trace element and come down with a new unpronouncable disease? Better take a little multi-mineral sea sourced salt daily. Gives one something to think about. Lorenzo --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

With the overburden of Sodium Chloride in the mix, I am suspicious. Just how much of the celtic sea salt must one consume in a day to get the benefit of tall the trace minerals? > > > >>> It may be purer & have less detrimental additives > than normal table salt, but it is still salt.

Trace elements can be gotten elsewhere without the huge Sodium overload. > > There is little mystique; Just study your blood chemistry.

I am keeping my eyes open for other multi-mineral supplements, but shy away from something which as such a huge componant of sodium.
