The white table salt is bad, but unrefined sea salt or Himalayan salt is healthy with right daily dosages.
When I saw the salt requirement I pulled out the blood pressure machine. No significant rise or fall.
I do question white table salt being bad for you. When you think about the chemistry of it, we're looking at NaCl. If anything, one would have to question the composition of the 'unrefined' nature of the sea salt.
Wife has always rebuked me for adding table salt (even if it is Himalayan) to her cooking.I've just always liked salty food.
Yeeh you are right , NaCl is what we need. I am not sure about what all additives there may be in table salt, iodine being one additive and that is not bad, but not sure about others, i never much read about those anti-caking agents etc
Anti-caking agents E535 and E536. Thought there is probably brands also that are anti-caking agent free ?Additives in Salt
Now that i looked, some salts may even have sugar-like substance added ,DEXTROSE
Why is there SUGAR in my SALT!?
Seems like there is different variations in what is called salt
Salts (table or cooking) with the fewest additives
