Sea Salt, untouched, would be pure and would contain trace minerals in addition to sodium and chloride.
Unfortunately, our oceans are being used as waste-dumping facilities and are being polluted with radioactive waste, petro-chemicals and heavy metals like lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury, and more. These toxins can be present in sea salts.
That’s why 80% of sea salt producers are refining their salt – using high temperature chemical stripping processes that turn it into a chemical structure your body can’t readily absorb – just like table salt.
