Guest guest Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Actually, throughout most of the history of our species we have consumed no salt daily. All this salt stuff originates in relatively recent time, species-wise. Bacteria control other bacteria, discretely, in a targeted way. Salt is entirely indiscriminate, whatever bacteria it kills are simply those present. That is why our bodies work overtime to get rid or or store off to the side whatever salt we consume. Most of the world's population has always lived in regions where there is little or no salt available in local rock formations. This is just a collection of mythologies that have arisen and stuck over the years/centuries.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 A differing opinion: The Urantia Book, p. 942,3, Competitive games, storytelling, and even the taste of good food may serve as forms of self-gratification. (When you use salt to savor food, pause to consider that, for almost a million years, man could obtain salt only by dipping his food in ashes.) The Urantia Book, p. 943, Let man enjoy himself; let the human race find pleasure in a thousand and one ways; let evolutionary mankind explore all forms of legitimate self-gratification, the fruits of the long upward biologic struggle. Man has well earned some of his present-day joys and pleasures. That part about a million years is what I am referring to.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 My entire mouth. Whenever I touch salt accidentally, I my entire mouth feels like it is dry, I become thirsty right away. But that only occurs when we stop for awhile, then we can actually notice our own physiological response. Froggy [seconaphim] Thursday, March 03, 2005 3:12 PM rawfood [Raw Food] Re: Go pound salt? I knew it was a bad thing, my taste buds and my intuition just tell me so. That's why I don't eat it.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 http://www.crt.state.la.us/crt/ocd/arch/salt/hist.htm The Indians of Eastern North America apparently used salt as a condiment. There is no evidence for salt ever having been used historically for preserving meat or fish, as drying game over a low fire was the standard Southeastern method of preservation. The DeSoto expedition observed four ways in which salt was produced. It was made from the ashes of plants, from brine water at salines, and from salt-impregnated sand; and it was also gathered in a free state (rock salt). Elvas provided an excellent description of the process of obtaining salt from sand: --- " INFO @ Vibrant Life " <VLinfo wrote: > > Actually, throughout most of the history of our > species we have consumed no > salt daily.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 actually, iron in certain forms and in anything but small quantities is QUITE toxic! tev treowlufu [coac2002] Thursday, March 03, 2005 3:45 PM rawfood RE: [Raw Food] Go pound salt? Salt isn't a toxin any more than iron is a toxin. Bacteria can live in both fresh and salty water. The " mythology " is the one you are presenting, Elchanan. Humans need salt to live. When man developed agriculture, salt was added to supplement the vegetable and cereal diet and the quest for salt became a primary motivation in history.

Whatever salt is, I'm sure I get all the needed nutrition that it supplies by eating fresh fruits and vegetables. rawfood , tev treowlufu <coac2002> wrote: > Salt isn't a toxin any more than iron is a toxin. > > Bacteria can live in both fresh and salty water. > > The " mythology " is the one you are presenting, > Elchanan. > > Humans need salt to live.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Some researchers claim that humans obtained some of their salt via animal flesh.
