Guest guest Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Other forms of salt do not contain iodine.I thought this was true as well, but the new sea salt I have from TJ's talks about how carefully it was dried, blah blah blah...therefore preserving the amount of iodine, magnesium, and other trace minerals in it. I then looked online and many sites claimed that sea salt has a lot of trace minerals, including iodine. I think the table salt with dextrose might have more, but I'm not sure if that's an issue or not. Peace =)Alyssa 15 yoUC April 2008, dx Sept 2008SCD June 2009 (restarted)No meds!

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 We don't need a lot of iodine. Before iodized salt- people ate regular table salt without iodine and goiter was a bigger problem. I don't think many people had access to the sea salt you have. Elaine was a product of her history as well- I'm old enough to remember hearing about this era (LOL). The sea salt you have is probably fine. Maybe a little regular salt once in a while to be sure the iodine is there- but really- too much salt is now a problem in the SAD.

Well, I'm in Louisiana. Shrimp, oysters, and crab. Crawfish probably not, as they are usually freshwater. Catdfish, ditto, fresh water. But sea trout and red fish and black drum.... I eat plenty of that. Well, not the oysters. Harry eats those. Dinner was delicious. And I radically overestimated the appetites of all concerned, including me, so we now have a full rack of ribs cooked and frozen for another Sunday dinner, and three partial racks put up which will yield dinners for both Harry and me on three different nights. All I'll need to do is put together the salad or the veggies. We were too full for the apple cobbler, so we'll have that another night. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 I thought this was true as well, but the new sea salt I have from TJ's talks about how carefully it was dried, blah blah blah...therefore preserving the amount of iodine, magnesium, and other trace minerals in it I use Real Salt by Redmond, with a long list of trace minerals in it. I haven't used iodized table salt for years, so I am assuming I get enough iodine from the sea salt. This would be logical to me because good old sea salt seems like what people would have used long ago, BUT, having said that, not sure if people raised in areas of low iodine in the soil (mid-west, I think it is) might need a bit more? I live in the northwest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
