Natural crude salt salt to eat:
It is wrong to eat salt, iodized salt is a disaster
Chinese Old West magazine interview with Dr. Wood
Human beings do not need salt
Today, the Chinese supermarket more than 95% of the salt is iodized salt. We each meal salt, and granted that the history of mankind has been salt, not salt the body will lack of sodium, iodine deficiency will not eat iodized salt. But in fact, these ideas wrong. 15 years ago, we do not eat iodized salt; in 100 years ago, we do not eat salt; in ten thousand years ago, we simply do not salt.
Diet anthropologists found that, in fifty thousand years ago the Palaeolithic, the human body's most robust, while the time structure of the human diet and other mammals such as wolves and bears similar, relying on meat and raw food, no cooking, do not use including any spices, including salt. Cook appeared in the New Stone Age ten thousand years ago since the era of agriculture, because food can not be eaten raw, and there is no taste. But until the Industrial Revolution before the direct human consumption of salt, well salt lake salt, or other natural crude salt.
So, humans need salt in the end it?
If you purely from the perspective of nutrition and health care, human completely without salt. We already know that the ancestors of humans and mammals are not salt, but physical health, and able to evolve. Last month, I go to the world's longevity in Bama study found that where the centenarians often cooking with water, very little salt. Our bodies do need sodium, but every day, adults only
1 gram or so, that is sufficient to add from the urine, faeces, sweat and breath discharge of sodium. The natural food is already rich in sodium, and the ratio of sodium and potassium is very suitable for human needs, potassium sodium for more than several times, with an average of about 10 times. For example, every 100 grams of carrots contain 70 milligrams of sodium and 190 mg of potassium, per 100 grams of seaweed containing 710 milligrams of sodium and 1770 mg of potassium. According to the Chinese Nutrition Society estimates, China's daily sodium intake from the food itself has reached about 1 gram.
After cooking in salt, we learned from a serious dietary intake of sodium exceeded, leading to a serious imbalance in the proportion of sodium and potassium. The Chinese are the world's most particular about color, smell, taste ethnic, dietary sodium is estimated at over 10 times more potassium! Potassium and sodium are the most important body electrolytes and potassium in the detail within the work, sodium in detail to work together to maintain the body's metabolic balance. Too much sodium can cause the body water, resulting in edema, bags under the eyes and high blood pressure problems, which happens to be the Chinese people's common diseases.
Iodized salt hyperthyroidism is a worldwide leading food safety incidents
So, our bodies will do iodine deficiency?
I was a kid living in the North Shaanxi Loess Plateau, eat natural well salt grow up, but never saw the goiter or cretinism (mentally handicapped). And the people around me, like the vast majority of people do not iodine deficiency, including the Montagnards included, not to mention the sea of people. However, there are a handful of people will appear goiter or cretinism, especially in the part of the mountain.
Most of iodine on the planet exists in the ocean, the small distribution on land. Scientists now believe that sweep off the last part of the mountain glaciers in the soil iodine. However, in my opinion, the food sources of iodine in the greater catastrophe is humanity itself. Natural food, water and salt, where used to have iodine, but the food and salt depleted finishing to make it, or even disappeared, then it would be a serious iodine deficiency.
In the human body, iodine concentrated in the thyroid gland, followed by the distribution in the brain, testes and ovaries, as well as muscle and other parts. Severe iodine deficiency occurs when the thyroid enlargement, mental retardation or stunting. Is not the best way to add iodine to eat iodized salt, but to eat seafood, especially seaweed. Per gram of dried kelp to contain more than 360 micrograms of iodine, while the daily requirement for adults is only about 150 micrograms. In terrestrial foods, eggs and meat iodine content is higher than vegetables and fruits. As the natural food of iodine in the organic state, the human body there is no metabolic disorder, excess iodine will be automatically discharged, not prone to excessive accumulation of iodine in the body and iodine poisoning. The Japanese like to eat seafood, especially seaweed, the average intake of iodine per person per day is estimated that up to 3000 mg, but their incidence of thyroid diseases was very low.
Iodized salt added in the artificial inorganic iodine are iodine, easy to over-accumulate in the body, resulting in iodine poisoning. Chronic iodine poisoning may occur after the smell of copper mouth, throat burning sensation, salivary gland swelling, eye-shaped rash to stimulate influenza and herpes simplex. More seriously, chronic iodine poisoning can lead to hyperthyroidism, nodular periarteritis, and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, or even thyroid cancer.
Since 1995, the country after the implementation of universal consumption of iodized salt, including hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer, including a variety of thyroid diseases soared. In Shanghai, a follow-up to 2 million people found that the incidence of hyperthyroidism from a pre-iodization 15/10 10000 10000 The following soared to more than 30/10. In Tianjin, the 20-year hyperthyroidism statistics analysis showed that the incidence of hyperthyroidism in the city started to decline in 1982, at a low level maintained until 1994, from the 1995-1997 inter-rose, with the introduction of iodized salt time to fit together well.
In fact, the salt lead to hyperthyroidism is a world-wide food safety incidents. The United States in the last century, 20 years after salt iodization-year period ,1924-1928 Patients with Hyperthyroidism increased dramatically. The United Kingdom in 1930, after iodized ,1931-1941 years, morbidity and mortality rates of hyperthyroidism record. Switzerland iodization in 1923 after the rapid increase in incidence of hyperthyroidism in 1980, again raised the level of iodization, followed by two years, the incidence rate rose by another 10%. A similar situation also occurred in the Netherlands, Austria, Australia, the former Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, Hungary, and Zimbabwe, Brazil and Chile and other countries. Clearly, iodized salt led to the tragedy of hyperthyroidism, the world's five continents spared.
Salt history had taken place three times the error
In the history of salt, mankind committed three errors, and more serious. The crude salt processed into a beautiful natural salt, is a beautiful mistake. Natural coarse salt, such as lake salt, well salt and sea salt containing sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, selenium, iodine, manganese and other minerals and trace elements. Among them, the most nutrient-rich sea salt, as many as hundreds. The salt is sodium chloride, chlorine and sodium only two kinds of elements, each containing 10 grams of salt Lane 6 grams and 4 grams of sodium chloride. Excessive amount of chlorine, sodium and chloride is a toxic. When the salt to the baby sugar feeding can be death, too much chlorine may lead to calcium loss and osteoporosis, excess sodium can cause high blood pressure and kidney stones.
In order to eliminate iodine deficiency disorders, in the salt by adding potassium iodide, is a good mistake. Potassium iodide is a chemical drug, there is damage mucosa and lead to side effects such as iodine poisoning. We all know that iodine can strongly stimulate the injured skin, and iodine potassium iodide is one of the major components. Less than a last resort, put it into the stomach is not a good idea.
Later, the salt company replaced with low-cost potassium iodate potassium iodide. Potassium iodate is very stable, but easy to agglomerate, and virulence. Potassium iodate is a process of chemical reagents and chemical raw materials, in operation must wear safety glasses, masks and gloves. Eats into the block of potassium iodate would be life-threatening, so the company must add the salt anti-caking agent. At present, we eat iodized salt to add anti-caking agent is potassium ferrocyanide. The use of potassium iodate was a mistake, while adding potassium ferrocyanide is a mistake on a mistake.
Potassium cyanide is a toxic chemical, 0.1 grams can be so deadly. The anti-spy movie, spy in the arrest of suicide taking poison usually potassium cyanide. Salt's added naturally not potassium cyanide, but potassium ferrocyanide. Potassium ferrocyanide itself is not toxic, but in more than 400 degrees Celsius would be decomposition potassium cyanide. The grill can reach temperatures of 500 degrees, so in a barbecue food to avoid adding salt. In addition, potassium ferrocyanide solution met with the acid may release toxic gas hydrogen cyanide. Hydrogen cyanide is a liquid hydrocyanic acid, with a strong toxicity. Therefore, should be avoided during the cooking process at the same time put vinegar and salt. However, iodized salt or bad, we may not be able to avoid potassium ferrocyanide and acid (hydrochloric acid) react to produce hydrogen cyanide or prussic acid.
My conclusion and advice is very simple: either men and women, if you regularly eat raw food, you can do so without salt. If you want salt, eat natural coarse salt, including sea salt, well salt lake salt or, preferably sea salt. General rule, not a day more than five grams of salt, but if a lot of sweating, diarrhea, or drinking water, can be appropriately increased. Natural crude salt is not only safe and nutritious, but also economical. As the processing costs and monopoly pricing, a double reason for the price of iodized salt than the average 10 times higher than the natural crude salt. You do not need to buy a variety of so-called nutrients, such as low sodium salt, plus selenium salt, blood salt or salt and vitamins, they are neither the economy, it may not be safe.
