But don’t forget salt itself can be processed. According to the Pacific Health Center, the high-heat processing that gives us our table salt removes eighty-two of the eighty-four good-for-you minerals normally found in sea salt. And with the addition of aluminum compounds, like aluminosilicate of sodium and yellow prussiate of soda to prevent moisture absorption and caking, our table salt becomes just as processed as other foods. Best to try unrefined salt offered by companies like Celtic Sea Salt or Real Salt. Maybe living a low-salt life will help us live to be old salts.
