Guest guest Posted May 17, 2003 Report Share Posted May 17, 2003 Good Day Everyone, I thought that was a good question because I have been researching it and have just confused myself further. A very easy thing to accomplish for me. Dead Sea Salts - Full of minerals Coarse Sea Salts are what I am looking for, so what should I be looking for? Do all the different sea salts that are being sold have the same mineral content? Or is what I am seeing on most sites like the one below marketing hype? According to one site: The difference between Kawar Dead Sea Salt and salts from other seas. The Dead Sea, which lies 1300 feet below sea level in the Jordan Valley, is the lowest natural place on Earth. During the 3 million years from its origin, the salt proportion in the water has risen as a result of the fast water evaporation in a dry climate. While salt content of other seas reaches about 3%, the Dead Sea salt concentration is almost 32%. An even more astounding fact is the composition of the salt itself. While common sea salt contains about 97% sodium chloride (NaCl), ), the Dead Sea salt contains only 12 - 18% of this mineral. The rest is composed of Potassium, Magnesium, Bromide and other minerals important for the improvement of cell metabolism and the regeneration of the organism.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Hi Cheryl, Different varieties of salt can indeed have different mineral contents. Refined salts have most of their trace minerals removed and are mainly just sodium chloride, but unrefined salts tend to have a wide variety of trace minerals, and depending on their sources some more so than others. Dead sea salts are known for having a high mineral content, but there are other salts that also have high mineral contents. Here is a cool page about halite - the source of common salt http://www.minerals.net/mineral/halides/halite/halite.htm I hope that helps. *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com , Cheryl Smith <female_tigress> wrote: > Good Day Everyone, > > I thought that was a good question because I have > been researching it and have just confused myself > further.
