1. The amount of iodine added to table salt is very small. If you don't like it, then use rock salt that doesn't have iodine. But make sure that you do gave a good source of iodine in your diet because production of certain hormones relies on iodine.

Edible salt can be iodised by spraying it with a potassium iodate solution. Two ounces of potassium iodate, costing about USD$1.15, are required to iodise a ton of salt.[1] Salt is an effective vehicle for distributing iodine to the public because it does not spoil and is consumed by everyone in the population, in fairly predictable amounts.[2]

"Dr." Robert O. Young lacks legitimate credentials. A recent e-mail response to a query addressed to the Web address of Robert O. Young, co-author of The Ph Miracle, indicated that he does not have a graduate degree from a school accredited by a recognized accrediting agency. According to the sender, Young's credentials include: "M.S. Nutrition" (1993); "D.Sc. Science" (1995); "Ph.D., Nutrition" (1997); and "N.D. (Naturopathic Doctor" (1999). All were issued by the American Holistic College of Nutrition in Birmingham Alabama, which is a nonaccredited correspondence school. Young claims that health depends primarily on proper balance between an alkaline and acid environment that can be optimized by eating certain foods. These claims are false. [Mirkin G. Acid/Alkaline Theory of Disease Is Nonsense. Quackwatch, Feb 6, 2003] Young's Web site states that he "has been widely recognized as one of the top research scientists in the world," and his book states that he "has gained national recognition for his research into diabetes, cancer, leukemia, and AIDS." However, neither the e-mail message nor a Medline search for "Young RO" identifies any articles authored by him that were published in a recognized scientific journal.

In addition to writing, Young offers educational retreats that include a private blood cell analysis and "nutritional consultation" at his 45-acre estate in Valley Center, California. In 1996, under a plea bargain, Young pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of attempted practice of medicine without a license and was promised that the charge would be dismissed if he stayed out of trouble for 18 months. [Herbalist in Alpine pleads guilty to reduced charge. Deseret News (Salt Lake City), Feb 5, 1996] Young claimed that he had looked at blood samples from two women and simply gave them nutritional advice. The blood test he advocates has no scientific validity. [Barrett S. Live blood cell analysis: Another gimmick to sell you something, Quackwatch, Feb 23, 2005]

Young obtained an undegraduate degree from the University of Utah, where he studied biology and business, in the early 1970s,[2] following which he did missionary work for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for two years in London, England.[2] He received several degrees from Clayton College of Natural Health, an unaccredited distance learning school, including an M.S. in nutrition (1993), a D.Sc. with emphasis in chemistry and biology (1995), a Ph.D. (1997) and an N.D. (Doctor of Naturopathy, 1999).[2]

Are you drunk? If you have a point of view, learn to communicate it.

peder, please start reading the posts properly now - nobody is stating that himalayan salt is bad for you - we're stating that the supposed benefits of it which they use to warrant such a ridiculous price, are rubbish, and arf9999 is pointing out that iodine is actually a necessary additive, as our bodies require it.

There is nothing bad about himalayan salt in moderation (as with anything) - however ordinary rock salt is the exact same stuff...

 

[Peder]

maybe you should start reading your own stuff you write...

You mention that himalayan salt is the same as normal salt according to scientists... but those same scientists prove that other things are bad for you... so who do you trust or do you live in a world where nothing is politically driven etc?

It's like banging your head against a brick wall with you- your logic is disturbing...
