Sea water contains 84 different mineral elements, and these same minerals are found in our body. According to modern medical research, 24 of these elements are essential for life (you will die without them), and many researchers believe that we need all 84, in proper balance, of course. Loss of these elements creates a dietary deficiency, which can lead to serious disorders of the nervous system, brain damage, muscle damage or other serious illnesses.
Some researchers
believe that these minerals are essential to help prevent cancer, exhaustion,
memory loss, rapid aging, obesity, water retention, ulcers, poor teeth and
bones, decreased sex drive, and other serious conditions.
The
way refined table salt is made extracts 82 out of the 84 mineral elements. Why,
if these elements are so good for you, do the salt refineries do this? Normally,
only 7% of the refined salt ends up on your table. The majority of the salt is
sold for industrial use, and has great commercial value.
It
is used in the silver mining process. Boron is extracted to make anti-knock gasoline
additives and chemical fertilizers. Magnesium is sold to makers
of metal alloys and for explosives. Other chemicals are removed from salt to
make plastics. Then,
after taking all of the natural, but saleable, mineral elements out of the salt, chemicals
are added to bleach it whiter, prevent water absorption while the salt is in the box, and
to make it shake out easier.
The problem with this process is that the chemicals added to
salt to prevent water absorption also prevent it from being properly absorbed in your
body.
That's
why we're hearing that salt's bad for you! Refined salt IS bad for you! It can be
deposited in the joints of your bones, and cause arthritis. Some of it can be deposited in
the walls of your arteries and veins, lymph system ducts, sexual organs, urinary tract, or
glandular system.
