Iodine in salt

[Guest guest]

I'm thinking about switching from 'lite' table salt with iodine to sea

salt. I'm wondering if any sea salts have iodine. Are there lots of

people in the group using sea salt on a daily basis for table salt,

cooking, etc?

 

Here's an article I read about iodine:

salt !!! my favourite topic!

after meeting kathy i have come to know a lot about salt.

i did a lot of reading up on the different salts, and finally have settled for

unrefined celtic salt and himalayan salt.

luckily i have managed to get my himalayan salt at the local grocery stores.

as for the celtic unrefined, my son sends it from melbourne.

i have stopped buying the table salt, although we cannot go completely off the

table salt as we do eat out once in a way.

there is lots of information on salt on the net and kathy will also give us

a good explanation as to how the unrefined variety is better than the refined

one.

add a pinch of salt in your drinking water and remain healthy!!!

Any good whole seasalt will have iodine, as well

as a whole bunch of other minerals.

Trace mineral deficiency is rampant after

half a century of chemical farming!

 

I use Celtic sea salt and just love it. Rich

flavor with a sweet undertone due to all the

minerals.

But then, a friend of mine who knows her health

stuff says she wouldn't touch it because the

sea near Brittany is not exactly pristine.

 

Staying well on a sick planet is a challenge!

On the other hand, having that complete nutrition

gives your body the strength to cope with pollution.

 

You can also add more iodine to your diet by adding

sea vegetables to your diet.

 

Here is a miso/seaweed soup recipe that we often enjoy

for lunch. It has endless variations of course.

 

This is the quickest version, almost instant.

I just throw it together, have no idea of exact

quantities.

 

Ingredients:

Miso

Tofu

seaweed (whichever one you like)

carrots

fresh ginger, garlic, cayenne and/or black pepper

green onions

Optional: rice vermicelli

 

Put some water to boil. While you are waiting

(Do not watch the pot, lol) prepare carrots, ginger,

garlic and seaweed.

 

Let this simmer for a minute or so till soft.

 

If you don't like ginger that way you can also

grate it and express the juice, or use powdered,

or just leave it out.

While this is simmering cut some tofu into small

cubes and chop some green onion.

 

Add cubes of tofu and rice vermicelli.

Simmer till the vermicelli is soft and turn off the

heat before you add your Miso.

Miso is a live food and you don't want it to boil.

Taste for salt, add pepper and sprinkle with green

onions.

 

This is one of the best ways to enjoy tofu.

The warming spices balance out the overly cool

nature of tofu.

We are blessed with access to freshly made Tofu

from organically grown, non GM soybeans.

 

My body cheers when we eat it. Soy milk on the

other hand makes me feel quite ill. Go figure.

Hi Rhoda,

 

Some of the reasons unrefined sea salt is better than

refined is because the refined salt is superheated,

which destroys many of the nutrients found in

the salt. Refined salt also generally has added

chemicals for decaking, has been bleached so it is

pure white.

 

I found an article about salt at:

http://www.suite101.com/article.cfm/graves_disease/115556

 

It talks pretty frankly and clearly about refined

table salt and unrefined sea salt.

 

Personally, I would use reflex muscle testing to

determine if indeed I needed more iodine in my diet

than any that I might get from sea salt and my regular

diet. If so, then I might add some of the foods known

to be rich in iodine into my diet, such as seafood

(clams, lobster, oysters, sardines and ocean fish).

The iodine content of fruits and vegetables is

dependent upon soil content.

 

Just my thoughts.

Just a note on sea salts. I attended a talk on raw foods and the owner

www.radicalhealth.com stated that Celtic sea salt was a company brand name,

and that it came from an area in the seas where there are toxic spills. The

government there shuts down salt production when the spills occur but as for

me, I'd rather not have something from where spills happen, whether they

claim the spills are cleaned up or not. How can we be sure? The salt and

grain company, the ones who own the name Celtic salt--claim that they have

assays proving the salt is perfectly safe. The site owner mentioned above

says he asked to see independent assays from the importer of the salt and

couldn't get any, so he actually dumped the Celtic salt he had just bought.

He refused to sell it to his customers because he says the salt is grey from

oil, not clay as the site claims, and that he couldn't in good conscious

sell that salt. So he threw away his whole order! That says a lot to me.

 

Then he says that Himalayan salt is good--IF--you make sure that it is stone

ground, or ground by hard metal wheels. He says that most of the salt is

ground by soft nickel wheels, which leave flakes of nickel in the salt--and

that the nickel in our bodies is worse than mercury in our bodies. He says

that you should call any manufacturer that you are intending to buy from and

ask them what type of wheels they use. If they can't answer the question

with " stone wheels " or " hard metal wheels " then don't buy from them.

 

Take this info or not. Just wanted to add what I have learned about sea

salt.

thank you so much.....eating and drinking is not a simple matter these days

looks like.

now i will have to find out the grinding method, or may be buy the rock as

it is and grind it at home...i buy rock form as well as powder form.....

i think finally we have to adapt to our environment...or else we will

go crazy!

 

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE INFORMATION

Gentlepeople,

 

The best source of Iodine is sea weed and sea salt. My suggestion is to obtain

your own hard-metal, preferably stainless steel, salt grinder or pepper mill

from a reputable kitchen shop. Buy " raw " sea salt and grind your own. Sea weed

can be crumbled and used as a meat rub or condiment, on salads, in soups or

eaten raw (some people don't like the taste of " raw sea weed).

 

Peace,

John

Absolutely. Great ideas.
