Salt: It does a body no good (WAS: Unrefined sea salt v. refined

[Guest guest]

Hi Elchanan,

 

I don't agree with your 'logic' with regard to something being toxic no matter

what it's concentration. If you followed your theory through to it's logical

conclusion most compounds in the human body are doing it harm????? Hydrochloric

acid is a harmful substance but without it we cannot digest food. Too large a

dose of potassium is fatal but so to is too little. Large doses of sodium

chloride acidify the body but too little leads to metabolic alkalosis, low fluid

volume and urinary potassium loss. Just because a substance is toxic in a

certain dosage dose not follow that it is toxic in all doses - infact the very

same substance could very well be therapeutic in a certain dose.

 

I also do not understand your reasoning that an ionic bond in of itself is a

'bad' thing. (I do have a chemistry back ground and am married to a Chemistry

Professor). Obviously sodium chloride is an ionic bond and this occurs naturally

within our bodies when the chloride anion and the sodium cation join and is

vital for our metabolic function (and therefore survival). How is this a 'bad'

or undesirable thing? How do you suppose you would make a mineral salt if not

by ionic bonding????

Sorry I forgot to reply to this statement. This is such bull. The body MAKES

ionic bonded salts itself because it needs them for metabolic processes. There

is no chemical difference between these salts and ones bought over the counter.
