Nutritionist Um... Chuck, your talk about "organic salt" and "inorganic salt" is very uninformed. Take some Chemistry or Biology 101 courses.

There is no such thing as an "organic salt" in kelp. Sodium chloride is sodium chloride no matter if it comes in a box, in kelp, in a cow or from a rock. So many people think that if a substance "comes from nature" (whatever that's supposed to mean, since everything in this universe is by very definition natural) it must be "different". This is not true. Iron from a nail is IDENTICAL to iron extracted from any other source. Iron is iron and iron oxide is iron oxide, no matter how you slice it - an atom is an atom is an atom. It has no "magic" properties just because it's "natural".

Instead what you're missing is that there are many different KINDS of salts, of which table salt (Sodium chloride or NaCl) is just one. For example we have potassium chloride. Sea salt is a mixture of many salts, as well as sulfates, elemental magnesium, and other things (including heavy metals such as lead, cadmium and strontium - just goes to show that what's "natural" isn't always completely "good").

Table salt is only one type of salt, and this is very rarely found in an organic environment. Your body has evolved to expect a balance of many different salts in your food (all apprximating that of seawater, interestingly, showing the aquatic heritage of living species) , instead of high amounts of one salt and low amounts of others. Consequently, it cannot deal effectively if one particular salt is consumed in vast imbalance to other types.

In the case of humans, too much sodium chloride inteferes with the balance of sodium and potassium chlorides which dictate the functioning of every cell in your body. Although the body has good techniques to deal with this, it still puts things out of whack in a number of ways - especially if this kind if diet is perpetuated.

Kelp simply contains a sampling of the balance of salts and elements our bodies expect to deal with - to mention "inorganic salts" is ill-informed, ignorant and just plain wrong.		 8/14/2008
