Salt is the second major constituent in our body next to water, and we need adequate amounts of it for optimal cell function and energy. Salt can be obtained through refined or unrefined sources. Refined salt is the thin white crystal commonly found, while unrefined salt is larger and has color due to its mineral content.
Refined salt has minerals removed, which are considered impurities, and is bleached white. It is considered an unhealthy salt containing sodium, chloride, and toxic chemicals like ferrous cyanide and aluminum silicate. Unrefined salt is a better choice, containing a full complement of minerals without toxic additives.
Refined products last longer and manufacturers believe the white color indicates purity. It is advised to avoid white salt and opt for salt with color, indicating mineral content. Unrefined salt contains over 80 minerals needed by the body, such as magnesium, zinc, and boron. Refined salt contains sodium, chloride, synthetic iodine, and toxic additives, but no minerals.
