My views on salt makes me a liberal ...... I guess.

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 yep you’re in horrible health. You trust your “health officials” and pop whatever pills they tell you to take. I bet you love seed oils. Enjoy your fake salt fatty. 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.

Him - Kobbled Krafts health is universal, you’re just more likely to be fat, dependent, and on medications if you’re a liberal. “Trust the experts” I actually feel bad for you. Because you’ll never know what it feels like to feel good about yourself. You hate Trump more than you love yourself. Let that sink in.

Me - 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 judgmental. You can say you are not MAGA but you seem to have the mentality of one.

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.

Him - I’ve been taking unrefined sea salt for years and my health has never been better. You’ll pay for your health. You’re a lab rat. When’s the last time you even exercised? When the last time you even upgraded your knowledge?

You’re one of those “careful with red meat and eggs” phaggots

Me - You sure are quick when it comes to shallow debate and no depth of knowledge. You can throw all the labels and what you think of as insults to try and get an upper hand or distract me but it doesn't change the fact that table salt is no more of a poison than sea salt. The traces of minerals in sea salt mean absolutely nothing to our overall health. And there is no bleach (chlorine ) in table salt. You are flat out wrong on that. And you are just showing how lost you are when it comes to basic common sense. .. well I guess not so common for you.

Him - I think you have taken too much fluoride. Can you show me a study showing that table salt is the same as sea salt?

A long paragraph to tell me “I love chemicals” “Chemicals are better than what nature has to offer” I bet all my claims were correct about you never denied it.

Me - Are you dense? Go back and read the comments. You are so narrow minded and eager to spit out crap arguments you are parroting from senseless influencers that I don't think you really are reading my comments for comprehension. So, here I go again..... They are not the same. BUT... The difference between them are so small that sea salt is not nutritionally better for your health than table salt and vice versa. Claiming that sea salt is better just because it has trace amounts of extra minerals is a foolish claim when it is in an amount that is trivial that it is considered non-existent in benefit over table salt. And again..... If you think there is literal chlorine bleach in table salt, you are just being purposely stupid about it.

Him - and your claim is incorrect, imagine trying to defend a point that is at the end of the day, WRONG

Me - imagine lacking so much reasoning skills in the area of proportions and the idea of significant amounts that people are shaking their heads with sympathy for your ignorance while you still hold on to false ideas.

Him - still haven’t showed me the studies 

Me - You haven't either...... Just saying. And if this guy on this video is your source..... Well I think I would trust a medical doctor or nutritionist for my facts thank you very much......

But if you want some reading material.....here ya go. Its not very hard to find a side by side comparison and how trivially insignificant the difference of sea salt and table salt is. Hell, I bet you will read these (probably not I am guessing) and still say I don't know what I am talking about.

Go ahead but those programs that guy is selling. He is scamming you hook line and sinker to make a buck off of you.

You guys are being scammed and your ignorance or naivete is being exploited. If you still believe that there is enough minerals in sea salt to make a significant amount of health difference, you are mistaken. If you look at the chart of the different types of sea salt and then compare the amount of that nutritional mineral to the USDA recommended daily amount.... You would have to consume an excessive amount (like absurdly excessive amount) per day to make even a minor dent in health benefits.

You have to do a little math on your own because in the science world this is such a no brainier that there is no real side by side comparison done for you, but I did one example just to prove what I am claiming.

For example, let's take magnesium. You need 400 mg of magnesium per day recommended. If you look at the average sea salt you would need to eat 267g of sea salt PER DAY ..... Over a half pound of sea salt....... To hit that recommended amount of magnesium per day.

Like I said, the amount of minerals in sea salt is absolutely trivial and makes absolutely no difference to your health whatsoever in the amount you'd have to eat it in order to get any significant amount of minerals for your diet. There is no nutritional difference between table salt and sea a salt.

If you don't understand that then we're just going to have to agree to disagree and you're just being blind to straight up numbers. There's nothing more I can say about that.

And the second point I was making, that there is no bleach and bleached salt is kind of a no-brainer. The word bleached can refer to just something being white which pure granulated salt is white. It DOES NOT mean there is bleach in table salt.

Him - you must be seriously unhealthy

 

Me - it is interesting to me how you (and others) make a judgment on my overall health on just my claim about the difference between table salt and sea salt. I also think it is very telling of your perception of how much difference actually makes a significant difference in outcomes. For instance.... Saying the extra minerals in sea salt makes a significant change in your overall health is like saying that some one who has a million dollars is rich and one that has $999,995 dollars is poor.

It's either your perception of abundance versus benefit or you are just easily persuaded without having good logic skills.

Have you actually looked at the empirical difference between plain table salt and the average sea salt? Like actually compared side by side the actual content and actual weight difference? The difference is so small compared to what out body actually needs each day that they are the same thing. It's like the difference between $1,000,000 and $999,995.

Think about it.

 

Him - I’ve never seen someone be so committed to being wrong and uninformed. I must’ve struck a nerve. You’re still wrong. still haven’t showed me any proof of Table salt being the same as sea salt. You have the same mental function as a rock.

 

One has chemicals. One is left the way nature intended. Does that make sense? Or are you just down right retarded?

 

Me - I have been thinking you have a problem with reading or understanding the English language. I have been clear and have provided lots of proof with examples that there is no nutritional...NUTRITIONAL..... Difference between table salt and sea salt. I have provided sources that list the components of both table salt and sea salt. They clearly show that table salt is not full of chemicals.... It is just one - sodium chloride. In some table salt, they add iodine which is still not even close to being a poison. And sodium chloride is not a poison to you either. If it was, the sea salt would be a poison since 98% or more is plain ol' sodium chloride. They also show that the extra minerals that are in sea salt are not enough to make any difference to your health whatsoever. Not a bit. You would have to have at least a half a pound or more of sea salt per day to even get a small amount of benefit from the minerals in sea salt.

Seriously, If you are this committed to being wrong and name calling and asking for proof when it was given just shows that you may have a comprehension problem. Go back and read all the comment I have made. Read them carefully and check the sources I have provided and do the math of relative amounts compared to suggested daily amounts. I am wondering about just how much you understand.

I wonder about how well you understand written English if you have read all the comments and still claim there is no proof. On top of that, you have given me no evidence of all the chemicals that seem to be in table salt and any studies of the health benefits of sea salt over table salt. I know I haven't demanded it of you but I would think if you wanted to discredit my claims that you would have some credible source and studies and data to show everyone you can back it up. But all you have is insults and "its natural". Those are junk reasons and how children argue.

Read my comments again. If you Have nothing more than " its natural" or "you are retarded" as a reason why you are right, then I guess you will just have to live in your blind ignorance or lack of intelligence to understand simple written English.

 

Him - you’ll keep trusting the government until your pronouns are was/were

 

me - You do realize this is a discussion about salt, right? Just straight up comparative composition and relative benefits of sea salt compared to table salt. Being insulting and obtuse and this adamite about sea salt having such a great effect on your health when I have shown pretty clearly that is makes no difference at all sure does show your ignorance and lack of reasonable thought. I mean, why else would you counter my sources and facts with insults, allegations and dismissal? You truly are blindly following what people say that are just as mislead as you are. I just hope you are not paying for some special sea salt believing it is doing something for you when it doesn't do anything at all but empty your pocket of your money. Just go to like Marshals and get your sea salt there for a couple of bucks and you will get the same results. . . . So while it has been amusing to banter back and forth with you and see how far and mean you would get with your insults and hollow meaningless reasoning, I think I have more than proven my claims with analogies, sources , and examples. Have a great day, and remember . . . . it is just salt. Seriously. . . it is just salt.
