Guest guest Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Hi , Here is what I would do. And have done at our house. I would dump out all of the table salt as it is poison to the human body. I would then replace my salt shakers with Redmonds Real Salt. It is fine in texture like table salt, and tastes great! It has all the minerals as Celtic Sea Salt (Real Salt is unrefined sea salt mined from ancient sea beds).It contains over 50 trace minerals, including iodine. Again, table salt is like poison to our bodies, and the iodine that is added is minimal anyway. Real Salt is also great to cook with. Best, -Kathleen moderator Adding Iodine to Food I still use table salt in cooking and baking and we still have table salt on the table. I would like to just get rid of the table salt and replace it with Celtic Sea Salt, but I am concerned about removing the main source of iodine for the rest of the family. My husband and two teenagers are not interested in supplementing with iodine. I looked up the mineral content of Celtic Sea Salt, but didn't see iodine listed.So I was wondering about adding iodine to my cooking with the sea salt in order to replace what would have been in the table salt. Or maybe a little more, but I don't want to add too much because the rest of the family is not taking any companion nutrients.Any suggestions? in NS, Canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 If it were my family, I would remove the table salt. You aren't getting much iodine in it anyway since it evaporates when left in the shakers. Table salt is cleaned with a chloride brine and then in most cases there is an aluminum anti-caking agent added. So you are trying to trade one benefit with 2 toxins and a bad for you salt. There are mcg dosages of iodine in the salt. Maybe you could make smoothies and sneak it in. I am not sure if you can add it to cooked food - how the heat would effect it.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Kathleen, this is what I've done at home. Redmond's or Himalayan salt " pours " better than Celtic, and looks pretty (for what that's worth!). I've currently got Celtic in my salt grinder, but it doesn't work very well. I only use table salt to make playdough, LOL. I have also added iodine to foods. I don't do it now as everyone is taking iodine anyway, but I've added it to porridge water, soups, stews etc. It could go into gravy, too I would suppose. Jaye > > Hi , > Here is what I would do.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Is there any Redmonds Real Salt that is refined? I found Redmonds at the grocery store in the health food section, but it was white and nowhere did it say unrefined. I was concerned that there might be a refined version of it so didn't buy it. in NS, Canada At 01:19 PM 14/01/12, you wrote: Hi , Here is what I would do. And have done at our house.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 <<<<So I was wondering about adding iodine to my cooking with the sea salt in order to replace what would have been in the table salt. Or maybe a little more, but I don't want to add too much because the rest of the family is not taking any companion nutrients.>>> , When I switched out salts I began cooking with Real Salt VERY liberally and no one had any obvious detox even without any companion nutrients. There is more than iodine in there and I just consider it part of their daily trace minerals. I also add drops of ConcenTrace to soups, eggs, etc. I'm extremely toxic and had just finally gotten a grasp of consistently taking the companion nutrients and was ready to start on the iodoral when I ran out of cash for supps this month . However, even before I started the companions the change in salt only helped me with issues such as restless leg, etc. Hope this helps to easy your worries, Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
