While this is not breaking news for many members on this forum, it might be for others. Not all salt is created equal. And it's extremely important that you don't consume table salt. It's refined at extremely high heats, stripped of it's trace minerals, and bleached. It also has added anti-caking agents. It's an absolute toxin to our bodies

 

Instead go with a natural salt like Dead Sea, Celtic Light Grey, Himalayan Pink, and some Mediterranean/Hawaiian varieties.

 

Also i'm a natural news addict, and it's a good place to start in regards to reading up on why you should be avoiding table salts.

I disagree. Table salt is the only source of iodine for some and will give u thyroid issues if u don't consume enough.

This is actually backwards Binga. The naturally occurring iodine in sea salt gets stripped away in the refining process. So they have to add it back in to table salts. But they don't add back in all the trace minerals stripped from the salt. And you can't reverse the bleaching/high heat refining process either.
