You’re not going to believe that none of us were taught this in elementary school. It’s the dirt on soap, antibacterial soap, lotions, creams, and tissue. They are scarier than you’d imagine.

I love New Orleans (YAY SAINTS!). I’ve been there. The streets feel like old French country village roads. The air is spicy with clear hints of fluffy Jambalaya, the thickest piping Gumbo, crunchy crawfish, and Belgian Ales. Women happily flash their IDs to gain entry into the oldest bars steeped in legendary culture like The Dungeon.
I love New Orleans (YAY SAINTS!) What I remember most strikingly however, due to my occupation, is what was on my table at my steak house. It was my salt. It was raining outside and it didn’t pour. My salt didn’t pour when it rained. I was thrilled.
It meant I could eat in peace. It meant I could eat without worrying about the toxicity of the anti-clumping agents or how my neurons, blood vessels and fat cells would be clogged by refined salt stripped of their balancing trace minerals. If this sounds even slightly hypochondriac, there was a time when your father insulated your house with asbestos without wearing a hazmat suit.
Way back in 1848 Chicago, Morton’s Salt Factory realized how annoyed restauranteurs got in the muggy summer when their patrons opened up the salt shakers and hammered down clumping salt with the backs of their forks. For all of history, this was the only way to make salt in humidity shakable.
Then, Joy Morton and Sons discovered a technology that would enable their company to dominate the world scene. In 1911, “Morton starts adding magnesium carbonate (an anti-caking agent) to salt, creating a table salt that flows freely, even in humid weather.” (source: mortonsalt.com)
This was revolutionary for many reasons that only ended at the table. By making salt that was humidity (read: water) resistant, since the grains poured freely, the packaging process was sped up greatly. Once in a package, since there were no clumps, Morton could ship more salt in smaller containers saving him millions of dollars in logistics. Smaller packages meant less cardboard, less restocking market shelves, and much more profit. No one else had this technology.
This is what Morton’s means when they say, “When It Rains, It Pours.” They are talking about salt freely pouring out.
Today, I think it’s pretty clear that when science, especially turn of the century (the last century) science “improves” on nature, there are always dire consequences. 400 years BC. The father of western medicine, Hippocrates, was recorded as preparing the first aspirin tea from the leaves of a willow tree (Cortex salicis). Modern science figures out how to extract more from the willow tree cheaper. So instead of salicin, you have salicilic acid. One is healthy and expensive. The other will burn a hole in your stomach making your gastric pH ideal for H. pylori to ulcerate your stomach then promote stomach cancer.
Today, we’ve somehow acquiesced to dangerous side effects as if they are an inescapable part of life. We are totally fine risking blindness to cure “underful eyelash disorder.” We are totally fine risking infertility, impotence, and children with birth defects to cure “restless leg syndrome.”
As you’d imagine, your iodized salt also carries with it some serious side effects. Making a salt that doesn’t react to humidity (read: water) worries me. My body is mostly water. I don’t want to generalize, so maybe it’s just a personal problem, but I don’t like that most of my body can’t dissolve iodized refined salt. I don’t like that the molecular cluster size of this salt blocks clumps like hairy gum under my chair but in my arteries and capillaries. I don’t like that iodized salt’s molecular cluster size makes my fat cells clump and jiggle as cellulite. I don’t like that clogged blood vessles starve my hair follicles of nutrition making them fall out. And it annoys me that salt that doesn’t react to water makes clogs that my heart suddenly stop beating.
Personally, I don’t have a better solution for curing “hypotrichosis of the eyelash disorder.” I can’t help you cure your “restless leg syndrome.” But I have a suggestion if you don’t want the side effects of iodized salt. I wouldn’t put 1911 technology motor oil in my BMW. I’d recommend that you don’t put 1911 technology salt in your body. And I recommend you visit New Orleans (YAY SAINTS!). I can’t wait till I get back there. – @journik

Two winters ago, I was up at Mammoth Mountain for some snowboarding. Sure, they used salt to keep the roads clear. And they used salt to cure the beef jerky I was chewing on. It was all good until I noticed the guy ahead of me in the lift line. He was also soaked in salt.
You know the look of someone about to pass out. His eyes were blood shot like he was trying to pass a kidney stone. His forehead dripped sweat like the ceiling of the Four Seasons steam room. His whole body was rocking back and forth the way bouys do. He collapsed.
The man who was once standing a few feet in front of me was now in fetal position on the cold hard floor. He looked about 50. Paramedics arrived and stood all around him. I don’t know why but they didn’t move him for atleast an hour.
Is table salt (and death) really all that bad?
I’m sure he was warned by his doctor to reduce his salt intake. I’m sure he had a doctor. His bindings alone probably cost him near $1,000. And yet, we must have our salt. At the risk of our lives, we must have our salt.
People die and kill for money. People also die and kill from salt. It’s no wonder. Throughout all of history salt was used as currency. Salt was traded ounce for ounce with gold in every major world empire from the Egyptians to the Chinese and even as recently as the Greeks and Romans. In the Jewish and Christian traditions, death at Sodom and Gomorrah meant becoming a pillar of salt and salvation meant being “the salt of the world.” We’re not even going to touch on ormus here.
In Latin based languages like French, Spanish and Italian, the word for salt is “sal.” And since salt was used as legal tender, you would get paid a sal-ary.
In the modern western world, in just a short 80 years, we’ve lost all grasp of the raw natural power of salt as a curative agent and a longevity elixir. It’s no wonder. You can now buy one ton of salt for $150 (source: The Economist). Modern industrial giants like Mortons has devalued the pure potential salt in both the market and the minds of millions.
For example, your doctor will tell you to go on a low sodium diet. Did you know that if you just switched to high quality fleur de sel from the French Mediteranean Sea (cost: $70,000 for one ton), you could still drown your food in salt and not have near the blood pressure / hypertension issues?
The reason is simple. While a writer for the Mayo Clinic disagrees, microbiologists and biochemists all know that the molecular cluster of sea salt in vivo is less than half the size of a molecular cluster of iodized salt. Think of what this means when a salt cluster is trying to get through the microcapillaries of your hair follicles.
Big molecules can’t get through to small blood vessles. These microcapillaries are cut off from oxygen, iron and white blood cells.
Personally, I don’t mind if I get sand in my shoes. It doesn’t hinder my stride. But if I get the tiniest of pebbles in the same shoe, it stops me dead.
Basically, the smaller the molecular size of a salt cluster in your body, the more that salt can function as a detox agent. As far as salts go, from toxic and deadly to neutral to detoxifying, you have:
I have to wonder if the man in $1000 ski bindings recovered.
Next, we’ll have to explain why the iodization and refined processing of salt makes it toxic and creates cellulite.
