Date: February 10, 2007 03:42AM Sea salt vs table salt, what is better?
From Wikipedia: "Because sea salt lacks high concentrations of iodide, an ion essential for human health, it is not necessarily a healthy alternative to regular table salt, which is usually supplemented with the element." Sources of iodine: Salt seaweeds For vegetables it depends on the soil. I know most of you here, don't consume salt so how do you get your iodine? No system has ever as yet existed which did not in some form involve the exploitation of some human beings for the advantage of others. John Dewey 1921. Re: Iodine

Date: February 10, 2007 05:36AM I read in another forum (I believe it was something Bryan said) that tomatoes and celery have the amount of sodium that a person needs... I'll try and find the post...

Date: February 11, 2007 04:26PM I use dulse and kelp in powdered form - keep it right on the kitchen counter and sprinkle it in salads or soups or even smoothies.

Date: February 11, 2007 05:08PM taylor - a teaspoon contains 2.5 grams salt. USDA puts the RDA at 0.5 grams/day, a figure I read in "The sunfood diet success system" too. I think it's individual though, as you say. Re: Iodine

Date: February 11, 2007 05:10PM Gabriel Cousens recommends 2-3 ounces of sea vegetables a week. Worth noting is that the iodine content can be up to ten times greater or less than average. Re: Iodine

Date: February 12, 2007 03:11AM I've been getting my iodine mostly from sundried dulse or raw nori. I crumple up the dulse and put it on my salads or make veggie wraps with the nori.
I think I might try buying the fresh raw seaweed though. The health food store here often carries several varieties of fresh seaweed in containers. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 02/12/2007 03:17AM by suncloud. Re: Iodine
