Sounds so interesting actually I've never even heard of those ...
Is it Uniodized or Iodized ... is it specified ?? TY

I'm not a B (duh) but I really like RealSalt sea salt.

Thanks Drea
I've heard that  kosher-certified sea salt is excellent !!  

I use the Himalayan Crystal Salt or Celtic Sea Salt.  You can Google search on both of those and get an eye-opener about what makes salt healthy or unhealthy.

I use all of the above. I switch around just for variety but I love the Himalayan salt. I did just pick up a bit of red salt (Alaea Hawaiian)last week and only a bit, as it was very expensive!! http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Alaea+Hawaiian&btnG=Google+Search

I imagine that people that do NOT eat canned foods could use Iodine come to think about it

Iodine is plentiful in seaweeds such as kelp.  As such a dash of kelp here and there is helpful.

My chiropractor had an "education" night about salt  and water about a year ago.  A lot of information was based on a book written about the benefit of having healthy salt.  Unfortunately, I don't know where my notes are and don't remember the name of the book.  Evidently a good salt helps in the metabolic functions of the body.  I no longer use regular table salt or cheap sea salt (10 cents a pound).  

My chiropractor recommended Redmond's Real Salt, as others have noted they use.  So, I use that sometimes.

I also went to our local health food store which carries high quality salts in bulk.  That way I can purchase a small amount and store it in a little salt shaker.  Currently I have Celtic Sea Salt, Brittany Sea Salt, Sea Salt from Portugal, and Tropical Sea Salt.  They run about $7-$9/pound.

I love to fix a crisp romaine salad with vegetables, lemon juice, and olive oil.  Then I sprinkle one of salts, such as Brittany or Tropical salt on top.  To me they add a delightful flavor to a salad.  I miss pepper as a seasoning, and these salts help to compensate.

For baking, I also use Trader Joe's sea salt and kosher salt and sometimes Trade Winds from Smart & Final, although I am not sure of their quality.

REAL Sea Salt has Iodine.

Table Salt is essentially a mixture of just the elements Sodium and Chlorine {NaCl} and invariably some Talc and Cornstarch. Which completely lacks ALL of the minerals in Sea Salt - thus the reason to add the Iodine into it...

India and Korea also have 'Black Salt' which includes the ash of various plants, a very tasty salt.
Cultures that don't traditionally have access to Sea Water use ashes for a salt substitute and value as gold the few Salt Springs they have.

Personally I don't advocate Redmond's RealSalt for internal consumption - as it is not Sun-Dried.

If u ever find ur notes, it would interest me, Thank-u very much  

I utilize Celtic Sea Salt (fine ground).  

Adding various types of seaweeds to your food is another option for substituting salt in your meals.

Thanks for the valuable information.  Can you please tell me why sun drying is important for internal consumption.  I notice that my Trader Joe's sea salt says it is sun dried.

Thank you Schluggell never knew this  

I've been having Celtic Sea Salt but switching  back to iodised table salt now & then in the belief of being iodine deficient without it !!

shells, as I dont believe I've welcomed you before............warm welcome to BTD and the forum.
Even if Celtic Sea Salt didnt have iodine, it would be much healthier to find iodine from some other source than reg table salt.    My DH was really stubborn about switching for the same reason. Now, he's given up and uses what I buy.

I agree ... we can find Iodine in bread, butter, cod, haddok, salmon, sardines, cottage cheese,  cheese, milk and dairy products in general, eggs ... fruits ... pineapple, raisins, meats, peanuts, peppers, spinach, etc ... all foods that we probably eat on a daily basis ...

I will keep looking.  In the meantime, this quote from the Internet carries the thought:

Quoted from Salt & Life
http://www.invil.org/english/tourism/themeTour/beach/contents.jsp?con_no=377406&page_no=1

Salt is necessary matter for the human body. It is because salt exist in the body liquid, and has the important role of maintaining osmotic pressure. Human blood contains 0.9 % salt. If the salt is not enough in your body, then, you body doesn't make enough digestive fluid, so it decreases your appetite. In the short-term, because your body doesn't make enough digestive fluid, it decreases your appetite, but in the long-term, it will cause no-energy, fatigue, tiredness and anxiety in your body. If you lose salt suddenly by sweating a lot, you can loose physical and mental functions such as feeling dizziness, disinterest, unconsciousness and listlessness. The amount of salt your body needs depends on the amount of labor you perform and the weather, however, a normal adult needs 123g salt a day. If you eat too much salt, it can cause high blood pressure. This is because when the salt concentration is increased in your body, more water comes into your blood to maintain balanced concentration rate. Some people say if you eat too much salt, it can cause stomach cancer.
