So there was this videos short on Facebook that made the claim that table salt was "dead" and bleached which made it a poison. Then it said that sea salt was better for their health and had many health benefits because of the minerals. So..... Here is the thread of conversation that came after my comment. . . .
My first comment --------
Me -First of all, table salt has not been bleached. They don't use bleach for refined salt.. That's absurd. Secondly, sea salt is still like 98-99% table salt and the rest is other types of salt (like calcium chloride or magnesium sulphate) and trace minerals. If you think that sea salt is significantly different, it is just placebo and marketing effect.
And here we go....... This guy was off and running!
Him - Kobbled Krafts no, it’s simply natural and made by nature. It contains enzymes and aminos along with many other minerals. Table salt is man made, lab made and full of poison. Try again
Me - Keep on squawking like a parrot of all these people that have these Facebook and tic toc degrees. The difference between table salt and sea salt is extremely trivial. Saying otherwise is just chasing those other guy's red herrings.
Him - Kobbled Krafts you must be a liberal, allergic to facts 😂 I would hate to have your brain. Plus your health is probably in shambles. How many pills are you taking from your doctor?
Me - You sure are judgemental for someone that doesn't know about health as much as you believe you do. And throwing out the label of liberal on me tells me all I need to know about your mentality. I guess simple concepts of science is political for you or if you can't have any proof to back up your claims you just start labeling like it is all that someone needs to judge the validity of a person. If you believe that plain iodized table salt is a poison compared to sea salt, then there is no coming back from the type of ignorance you have in spades.
Him - Kobbled Krafts its trace minerals. Sea salt naturally contains them. Table salt is intentionally void of minerals and they lie to you and tell you it has “iodine” like there is t plenty of other sources of iodine that don’t have actual bleach in it. I feel bad for you. I bet you got all you booster shots 😂
Me - you are so indoctrinated by conservatives and those people that feed your bias. Those minerals in sea salt are so small that you would have to eat literally pounds of sea salt to get the same as you would out of fruit and vegetables. You know..... Because they are just a trace amount .And if you think there is literally bleach in table salt, then you are seriously brainwashed. I hate to say it but you have to be stupid to believe that there is bleach in salt. Keep responding bud, you are really giving all these people a good example of what being manipulated with feeding your own bias looks like.
Him - Kobbled Krafts fucktard trust his government 😂 most minerals are absorbed better in trace amounts. You know nothing. Keep trusting the government. I’m not the one that is brainwashed here. You probably think Covid was handled correctly. Don’t forget your other booster shot. I bet Covid still kicked your ass
Me - no ... Minerals are not better absorbed at trace amounts.... Your body only needs trace amounts of some of them. Keep squawking that Republican vomit you have been spoon fed.
You know.... Its the same with Trump supporters. They are all arrogant and blind to solid research. And when presented with the numbers and supported verified repeatable results that don't first their viewpoint, they insult and belittle like they are on a pedestal. High and mighty in your blind ignorance blind cult like mentality. And just because I disagree with you and actually show that you are either flat out wrong or that you are over exaggerating, you label me as a liberal and assume my political views like it is a disease . Like this conversasion..... It is absolutely absurd and down right wrong that the type of salt (sea salt or table) affects your health to the degree you are saying. You are arguing with blind allegiance to whoever is lying to you and then you spit out that same false claims as if they are true on very little evidence (if you looked up the evidence at all). I getting to believe it is Trump Thumpers that are the problem. If you truly feel that salt and dyes and the type of sugar that is in coca cola and the type of oil Mickey d's fries are cooked in makes our country healthy or sick, then you are truly lost and choose to be stupid because you have to know those things make very little difference to a person's overall health.
Why are you not advocating for lower prices on whole foods and fresh meat and fresh vegetables? Why are you not advocating for increase exercise? Why are you not advocating for better access to preventative care (dare I say..... Vaccines?). Why are you not advocating for more affordable health insurance? Hell, I bet you are still talking about the food pyramid when that has not been the recommended eating habits for over a decade .... Why don't you support and advocate the "my plate" as a resource for healthy eating?
Him - Kobbled Krafts mind virus. You’ve been consumed by evil.
Me - obviously I could say the same to you based on your responses.
Him -Kobbled Krafts I’m not maga, but you are however okay with killing babies
Me - That's quite a baseless accusation... See? You are being arrogant and judgemental. You can say you are not MAGA but you seem to have the mentality of one it seems.
Him - Kobbled Krafts you’re brainwashed. Show me one study that supports your claim that unrefined sea salt has the same mineral content as bleached table salt? Show me that studie or shut the fuck up lol
Me - Can you not read? Does your reading comprehension suck? Reading for content must not have been a strength for you in school or something. Go back and reread what I have written. Here.... I will repeat myself..... Again...... First, table salt does not have bleach in it. It is not "dead" or a "poison". It just does not have the minerals and other types of salt. Secondly, the minerals and other salts that are in sea salt are so small and trivial that there is absolutely no benefit (or harm) to using sea salt over table salt. There is no nutritional or benefit at all to using sea salt over table salt or vice versa.
I think I have made those two points pretty clear several times. You can try to rage bait me all you want but I am circling back around to the original fact that there is no nutritional difference and no health difference between sea salt and table salt.
