PLEASE BELIEVE ME AND DOUBLE CHSCK WITH A NUTRITIONIST TO VERIFY THIS. I am sorry but a majority of docs will not agree. BUT true! If your body is healthy and organs are operating normally you really truly can handle up to 8-10 times the recommended daily allowances for salt EVERY DAY! Your kidneys are perfectly capable of flushing out water-soluble minerals daily in amounts over that which your body actually uses. IF YOU ARE CRAVING SALT EAT IT! I truly investigated this and made the permanent switch years ago! And yes, avoid salts that are white. They are chemically bleached to be "pretty"! Real natural salt looks one small grade above dirt! IF YOU USE this type of salt do not freak out that you experience very small "crunchy" bits here and there as they are loaded with MINERALS! Lookup performance improvements both physical and mental with increased salt intake! I am done, & will shut up now!
