Salt - Which One Are You Using?

What type of salt is best to use for healthy nutrition in general and esp. in case of food intolerances?
So far I bought the regular table salt (and assumed it is safe...) but now I saw that some of the brands have nasty additives in it. Sigh, even in salt??!!

Yes, even in salt.  After I realized that magnesium stearate (used to keep salt from clumping, I believe) is an issue for me.  I read the label to make sure all I am getting is salt.  These days I get, "Real Salt."  I have also been known to purchase sea salt, but one still must watch the label if they don't want anti-caking agents.  Don't forget if you get a processed product that the salt in that might not list ingredients.

 

Magnesium Stearate, I believe, is usually derived from corn.  Do you know that you have trouble with corn?  I am not saying you do, just wondering if you do.  I think my corn problem and magnesium stearate problem are related.

I also use Real Salt. It's a rock, mined in Utah (so I also feel good about supporting a local business since I live here), and is simply mined, ground up, and put in a package. The bonus is that it tastes like nothing you've ever had before and once you try it you'll never go back to that crap you call salt now. I'll occasionally have some sea salts in the house, but they aren't something I keep around as a general rule.

Thanks so much for sharing your insight!

My son has a lot of intolerances, and I am keeping corn out of the picture more as a precaution esp. when he is sick. That's very interesting about the magnesium stearate and corn, it makes processed foods even more of an issue, doesn't it?!

 

Thanks again!

Real salt  for me too...

I used to have high blood pressure. It was "cured" when I stopped eating iodized salt. I only eat sea salt or kosher. The improvement was from either:

A. I am severely intolerant to corn...learning that there is corn in iodized salt gave me one more way to avoid it.

B. people with mastocytosis are often intolerant to iodine, so the iodine could have caused the reaction.

Good luck!

I am so sorry to hear about your problems but I am glad that you at least figured out the salt issue. (Step by step, isn't it?!)

I will be buying pure salt today. Does anyone have an advice what brand to choose here in Canada? (I'll order Real Salt online, though.)

 

Thanks everyone!

I use Morton lite salt.  It has 50% sodium and 50% potassium.  I've never had a problem with it.

I like to use sea salt.

I use himalaya and maldon salt, table salt tastes horrible when you start using good salts.

Kosher or Sea Salt.

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?
    • Scott Adams
      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
