Sea salt (coarse) better than table?
I see in many recipes that seal salt is called for. I love salt and
use too much. I am afraid that if I use sea salt, I might ingest even more sodium than I am getting right now. Is the taste that much better? Right now I am using Morton Light Salt. Mark Ferrante |

If you switch to sea salt and then go back to iodized you will notice the taste. |

There are other taste characteristics to salt other than iodine. -- Wayne in Phoenix unmunge as w-e-b *If there's a nit to pick, some nitwit will pick it. *A mind is a terrible thing to lose. |

Quoting from this web page: http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/salt.htm "The problem with salt is not the salt itself but the condition of the salt we eat! Major producing companies dry their salt in huge kilns with temperatures reaching 1200 degrees F, changing the salt's chemical structure, which in turn adversely affects the human body. The facts are that in the heating process of salt, the element sodium chloride goes off into the air as a gas. What remains is sodium hydroxate which is irritating to the system and does not satisfy the body's hunger and need for sodium chloride. Sodium chloride is one of the 12 daily essential minerals. In countries which do not alter their salt supply, heart disease and arthritis are so rare that many doctors have never seen a case. Their salt is dried from the ocean by the sun." Hope this helps! :-) |

All "salt" (the stuff we use in food) is almost entirely sodium chloride. There are other trace chemicals in it that might affect the taste, but except for those traces table salt IS sodium chloride (whatever its source.) All the best, -- Kenneth If you email...

Never heard of such a thing. Sodium chloride doesn't change until heated to above 1474F and breaks down to chloride and sodium oxide fumes. Oh, and sodium chloride isn't an element, it's a compound. This site contains "information" on such nonsense as magnetic therapy and colon cleansing. -- to respond, change "spamless.invalid" with "optonline.net" please mail OT responses only |

The ONLY reason folks in the US don't have adequate medical/prescription insurance is because those particular folks CHOOSE to spend their money on lottery tickets, tobacco, and booze insterad of insurance premiums... all has to do with prioritizing... anyone in the US can have med/drug ins, just that it's not manditory... another of the beauties of America, the government has no say in who gets to live and who dies... not so with socialized medicine. ---= BOYCOTT FRANCE (belgium) GERMANY--SPAIN =--- ---= Move UNITED NATIONS To Paris =--- ********* "Life would be devoid of all meaning were it without tribulation."

The FDA has no statutory authority to regulate the cost of prescription medicine. As far as I know, it has never had that authority, whether under Democrats or Republicans. We can debate whether it should have the authority, but that's another question. |

That's patently false. US Customs is responsible for importation. The FDA controls which drugs are banned (both domestic and imports), but based on safety, not price.
