In this episode, we're joined by renowned salt expert, Darryl Bosshardt, who is debunking 3 common myths surrounding salt. We discuss the misconceptions about salt's health effects and the reality of heavy metals found in salt.

We touch on the historical context of dietary recommendations and the impact of processed foods on our health, we discuss the importance of trace elements in natural food, debunk misconceptions about iodine, and emphasize the benefits of consuming natural, unprocessed foods.

We explore the advantages of choosing real foods over processed alternatives, advocating for a return to clean eating and sustainable practices.

Lots more info here: https://soulyrested.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-salt-with-darryl-bosshardt-of-redmond-real-salt-s7-e1/

Just a few takeaways you gain after joining in on this conversation:

-While processed foods contain unhealthy levels of refined salt, natural salt is essential for our health.

-Heavy metals are present in all real foods, not just salt.

-Eating a balanced diet can mitigate heavy metal exposure.

-Natural foods contain trace amounts of metals, but our bodies can process them.

-Iodine is crucial for thyroid health, but iodized salt is not the best source.

-The iodine added to table salt is less than 10% bioavailable.

-It's important to be aware of the source of your food and its processing.

This study in 1954 was the beginning of the anti-salt craze, when rats were fed copious (I’m talking insane) amounts of salt: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/13196737/

This study found that people eating less than recommended sodium had a 19% HIGHER risk of dangerous heart-related events: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22110105/

This study found that for the general population, there is no significant risk of either immediately developing or worsening any existing heart health issues via sodium: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/article-abstract/2712563?guestAccessKey=8d6f8001-a1f8-4372-b8b9-a7d935d5d7a4&utm_source=silverchair&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=article_alert-jamainternalmedicine&utm_content=olf&utm_term=110518
