Why Avoid Table Salt & Refined Seasonings: The Offending Ingredients
Commercial versions of Table Salt & Refined Seasonings rely on cheap industrial fillers, preservatives, and flavor chemicals. Here are the specific ingredients to watch for on labels:
Chemical Bleaching & Refining
Purified to pure isolated sodium chloride (99.9%), stripping naturally occurring magnesium, potassium, and trace minerals.
Anti-Caking Agents (Sodium Ferrocyanide, Aluminum)
Chemical heavy metal compounds added purely so industrial salt pours smoothly from shakers.
