The vast majority of people are utterly ignorant to the fact that your typical table salt is an industrial waste product, enhanced with iodine, another industrial waste product, neither of which are beneficial to any living being on this planet (I suppose cockroaches may thrive on them, but, yeah). On the other hand, any salt Planet Earth gifts us, is generally filled with goodness that benefit living beings, such as minerals and trace elements. The IOM surely doesn't look into that side of the coin, just as it doesn't look into the damaging properties of Aspartame when it recommends "diet" products for diabetics.

Please lets work from the the other end. Our Daily Salt losses must be replaced. ITS THAT SIMPLE. The real question is: how to easily determine individual salt losses ?
