Did I mention

That salt is salt?!?

Today I heard the argument for sea salt. (again)  This scared me, because my friend (let’s call her Tanya)  has high blood pressure and was using sea salt without restraint…

Tanya: ‘It’s not sodium chloride.  It’s something else.’

me: That’s a myth.  Sea salt IS sodium chloride (aka salt, aka sodium).  It has the same impact on your kidneys and blood pressure as table salt.

Tanya: ‘At least it contains more minerals than table salt!!’

me: Trust me, it’s not significant. 

me:  Sea salt does add great flavor to foods!  But that’s the only real benefit I’ve found.
