Re: Redmond salt



It is no doubt true that trace minerals are removed from table salt, but
kiln drying is not the method - it would have little affect on the trace
minerals (many of which are in the form of a salt - salt in this case being
a chemist's term that includes common table salt, sodium and chlorine, among
a number of other combinations including trace minerals both useful and
poisonous). Fortunately, I would expect most of the poisonous heavy metals
to be in low quantities, but they are certainly natural - so natural is not
necessarily better. Oh, for some honest marketing.
