What happens if we ingest a lot of it? Well, assuming you have working kidneys, you excrete any excess to metabolic needs. That's it! No cancer, no heart attack, no exploding head, no turning into a pillar of the stuff. <br /><br />As a nurse of some years experience I have never seen (or read about) anyone with a salt related injury. But with all the stupid advice to cut down and do without, guess what I have recently seen an increase in? Yep, patients admitted (generally the elderly) with salt depletion symptoms. I wonder if this is intentional, but then I'm a cynic whose getting ever more cynical every day!Ablenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-32449180704274899762012-02-07T14:19:08.688+00:002012-02-07T14:19:08.688+00:00Indeed, "the medical profession is determined...Indeed, "the medical profession is determined to be seen as a haven of quackery and about as reliable as a man in a grass skirt and wooden mask shaking bits of animal at you", cue 'bio-psychosocial medicine' <br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biopsychosocial_modelSickasparrotnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-58063816508028059332012-02-07T00:23:31.418+00:002012-02-07T00:23:31.418+00:00When I was a child, back before God grew a beard, ...When I was a child, back before God grew a beard, seaside hotels sometimes had rice grains in the salt shakers. <br /><br />The reason, apparently, was that the salt would get damp in the humid air and wouldn't come out of the shaker holes. The rice grains didn't fit through the holes and absorbed moisture faster than the salt so they kept it dry.<br /><br />These days, free-flowing salt has an 'anti-caking agent' added to it. I think, these days, the only way to get anything free of additives is to grow it yourself, kill it yourself or mine it yourself. When teh weather's better I think I'll go down to the beach and do a Ghandi.Legironnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-40346782335234186822012-02-06T23:45:25.781+00:002012-02-06T23:45:25.781+00:00Sodium chloride, also known as salt, but what'...Sodium chloride, also known as salt, but what's the stuff sold as salt these days?
