A FOOD CHAIN RELEASE FROM METROFARM.COM


When in comes to food, white could be beautiful, but mostly its not!

Delangre from the Grain and Salt Society for a conversation about salt.



(Listen here: http://www.metrofarm.com/index.asp?cat=40088)



Topics will include a brief history of the salt trade; the role salt plays
in human nutrition; and why all of the mineral nutrients, except sodium
chloride, are refined out of salt.

from my point of view of addisonian ( no secretion of cortisone and mineral
corticoids ) i have a double edge sword relationship with it .In the first
hand because i have a tendancy to waste my sodium salt can be very much life
savior ( if too much sodium is wasted you dehydrate to death). i have a very
strong attraction to salt ( i can even drink sea water at time ). on the
other hand i have an intuitive  feeling that too much salt in my mother's
and mine diet in the past have been a contribuating factor in my adrenals
collapse .
too much salt will require adrenals to secrete too much cortisone or at
least aldosterone that is also secreted by the mineral cortex .
by the way if you see yourself attracted very much toward salty foods it is
a good indication that your adrenals are tired.

i have been trying on and off during the last 14 years to go without salt at
all . i have been able to go 3 months without salt except what is on sea
weed .
what i will recomend is to eat the salt that you need on its own , you will
have a clear instinctive stop if you don't need it .mixing with foods is
problematic because together you will end up eating more foods and more salt
that you really need . and any exces of sodium mean waste of calcium
.training yourself to apreciate unsalted food can lead you to like your food
better or at least for what they are .
i have been eating celic salt from the "marais of guerande" ( called celtic
salt here and resold at enormous prices in comparaison of the price
there )in France for 27 years .
i would like to see some analyses that reflect the potential pollutants that
could be a problem . i don't see that much problem from knowing the place
.may be bacterial from sceptic fields but i assume that no living thing
can survive in salt .
any way all my comments have to be taken with a grain of salt .
