Table Salt

[Guest guest]

BS " D

 

Did you know this? I saw the label in a table salt package that said " Iodide a

necessary nutrient " .

 

Here is why (from what I found in in the internet)

Deficiency of iodine may lead to thyroid dysfunction, goiter, mental deficiency

, hearing loss, and cretinism*.

 

(*A congenital condition caused by a deficiency of thyroid hormone during

prenatal development and characterized in childhood by dwarfed stature, mental

retardation, dystrophy of the bones, and a low basal metabolism. Also called

congenital myxedema)

Thank you for the information, Tsila!

I am using sea salt for years, although I am not sure, if other salt

is less good... any experts?

And here we go, we should control our salt intake, but at the same

time watch the iodine intake (I think too much again causes a

swelling of the thyroid glands...does anyone know more about that?)

And, seaweed contains a lot of iodine if one has to watch the general

salt intake.

(I assume Mark can help us further with his knowledge..that's a

friendly hint )

I have also read once that there is a mental disorder that goes

together with an increased craving for salt...(have to check this one

out before I say anything stupid - LOL, I do have salt cravings once

in a while...no conclusions from that, please, argg)

 

Be well all!

Hello Gabriella and iodine enquirers!!!!

 

This is one of the most misunderstood topics that there is. Iodine is added

to table salt, because it is devoid of natural iodine.Iodine is a natural

substance found in the soil, and in seawater. Remember we have a great system

here on Earth. We need minerals from the soil to survive and to be healthy, we

grow plants that soak up these minerals from the soil.. We ingest these plants

and therefore we get the minerals into our systems.Iodized salt first made its

appearance in 1924.. Unfortunately most people eat processed food which is void

of Iodine. Most of the Iodine in the soil comes from coastal areas. Because of

modern technology, refigerated trucks carry this produce all over the country I

personaly take sea kelp daily for the huge amount of minerals that it has that

are easily assimilated by the body. The sea is a rich source of iodine. Sea salt

is very rich in Iodine, and if you are using Natural sea salt, then you have

nothing to worry about!!! Iodine is important and

really has only one function,It is essential to the thyroid gland in the

manufacture of the hormone thyroxine. This is the hormone that regulates

metabolism in all the bodies cells.The Thyroid gland regulates growth and

development in children, reproduction, nerve and muscle function, the breakdown

of proteins and fats, the growth of nails and hair, and the use of oxygen in

every cell in the body. The body contains about 1 ounce of iodine, and 75% of

that is contained in the thyroid. . So you see, it is vital to the body, However

if you are eating a natural diet with lots of fruits and vegatables adn using a

good sea salt. Sal de mer from France is my favorite,you are almost 100% certain

to be getting enough Iodine.

 

I hesitate to mention this, but I like to be honest, but when I say this to

people, they get scared and stop eating these things, but there is no need to.

Certain substances known as goitrogens induce goiter ( this is the enlargement

of the thyroid gland)when iodine intake is low. Cabbage, brussel sprouts,

rutabagas, cauliflower, turnips and peanuts contain these substances. Heat

however destroys goitrogens, and the potential danger exists only when large

quantities of thesse foods are eaten raw. I am a raw foodist,and do eat raw

peanuts,and cabbage, I couldn't care less about brussel sprouts, cauliflowers,

and turnips however. I do take sea kelp daily, raw organic sea kelp from the

North Sea, which is the richest source of Sea Kelp!! One of the benefits of this

is the iodine, but I take if for the overall mineral content, and I highly

recommend that you do too!!! Your body will love you for it!!!! Thank you MARK

Thank you very much, Mark!

Your knowledge always impresses me and your information is more than

appreciated. It is good to have someone you can give some good advice

with all these sometimes rather confusing facts of what and what not

to eat or to avoid. Cheers!
