Common Salt is a Poison

Common salt is a deadly poison. The only difference between this and other commonly known poisons is that one has to administer rather large quantities to kill with it. One or two teaspoonfuls of salt would not kill an adult but can easily kill a 6 month old baby. Come to think of it, even an adult can be killed with common salt. Only he would have to be fed larger quantities. About 40 teaspoons of common salt would kill an adult human being too.

Most foods in their natural state contain sodium. But most sodium in our diet is added to food while it’s being commercially processed or prepared at home. That’s why you need to be aware of both natural and added sodium content when you choose foods to lower your sodium intake. When buying prepared and prepackaged foods, read the labels. Many different sodium compounds are added to foods. These are listed on food labels. Watch for the words soda and sodium and the symbol Na on labels — these words show that sodium compounds are present.

Don’t think that just because the FDA deems salt as safe, that it is…they are the organization who tell us that pharmaceutical drugs which have killed many people are safe as well!

If you are going to use salt, use only natural, unprocessed forms, such as Himalayan salt, or pure sea salt, unrefined in any way.
