Makes me rather angry

Haley, My understanding is that most table salt now has been SO processed and heated up to purify it that it doesn't have the mineral values our bodies need to function properly. Sea salt is processed differently, and even some of them are seriously lacking... but you have a much better chance of getting the needed benefits from sea salt than the others.

Salt is involved in maintaining a proper balance of water in the body, and regulating the heart rate among other things.

I'm glad your Mom has managed to survive all those heart attacks! How scary for her and you! I've had only one and that was frightening!
