We have been using 'Windsor' brand salt. A few days ago I was surprised to see that sugar is an ingredient of this salt! Sugar????? We do not consume much sugar as anyway. We try and avoid sugar as much as possible. We were surprised because you would never think sugar would be added to salt.

This supermarket or health food store "sea salt" has been totally
refined. At its origin, it may have come from the sea, or from
thousands of feet from underground. but:

It has been harvested mechanically from dirt or concrete basins with
bulldozers and piped through metal conduits; put through many
degrading artificial processes; heated under extreme heat levels in
order to crack its molecular structure; robbed of all of its essential
minerals that are essential to our physiology;

These elements are extracted and sold separately to industry. Precious
and highly prized by the salt refiners, these bring more profits than
the salt itself. Further it is adulterated by chemical additives to make it
free- flowing, bleached, and iodized.

To call what remains "Sea Salt" or "Table Salt" would be quite misleading.

In addition, harmful chemicals have been added to the processed,
altered unnatural substance to mask and cover up all of the impurities
it has. These added chemicals include free flowing agents, inorganic
iodine, plus dextrose and bleaching agents.

Standard salt additives: Potassium-Iodide (added to the salt to avoid
Iodine deficiency disease of thyroid gland)," Sugar " **(added to
stabilize Iodine and as anti-caking chemical), and Aluminum silicate too.

You might even see traces of cyanide in some salts.They don't mention
it anywhere in its table of contents. Don't ask me why? I just now
found it here.

Some of the salts from different areas have been noted to slow down
the growth of cancer cells too. There is a lot of research taking
place on this subject matter and the Pharmaceutical companies and
Doctors doing research know more about these and they are tracking the
use of these salts even to this day.

In olden days the Roman Kings paid their soldiers with SALT as a
currency. Hence the word 'Salary'.

NIce subject for the day.
