"Doctor" Gott, the famous newspaper Medical-Advise guy, is at it again, this time regarding the "Sea Salt vs. Table Salt" issue.
 
True to form he proves, afresh, that there is no "tank" too deep, dark, or slimy for him to stay out of... you know, him generally being "In The Tank" for every sociopathic corporate industry maintaining the current unhealthful status quo. ...And hey, don't get me wrong... I love big Corporations! They can create jobs and enrich our quality of life. Still, it remains! Many corporations are morally and ethically bankrupt, N'est ce pas?
 
Read the following short Dr. Gott piece and then we'll talk.
 
"DEAR DR. GOTT: Please explain the health benefits of using sea salt for cooking in place of regular iodized salt."
 
"DEAR READER: In a word, none. The only real difference is in the taste and texture, but both have identical nutritional values. Iodized table salt is generally derived from rock salt mined from mineral deposits and is fine-grained. Sea salt is harvested from sea water through evaporation and is available in both fine and coarse grains. Its flavor is more subtle and often preferred because it contains no iodine or additives."
 
"All people require iodine for normal thyroid function. Fish, dairy products and many processed foods contain adequate amounts, so all households on well-balanced diets can switch to sea salt without the risk of inadequate iodine intake. In fact, it is rare that a person consumes too little iodine, and it is more likely that too much is ingested."
 
"The general recommended intake of sodium (in any form) is between 1,500 and 2,300 milligrams daily for healthy adults. Excessive sodium can lead to hypertension, obesity, fluid retention and a host of other serious medical conditions. Salt makes food taste good, but it isn't good when consumed in excess. We've all seen people reach for a salt shaker without even tasting the food when dinner arrives at the table. They haven't any idea whether the food is oversalted to begin with or extremely spicy and doesn't need seasoning. The answer is to eliminate salt from foods prepared at home and to remove the salt shaker from the dinner table. It goes without saying that snacks are often high in sodium content and should be limited as well." ---END---
 
Gee, where to begin, considering most of what he said was obfuscated "twisty-curvey" crap. You see, he is pulling the "Old Switch-A-Roo," an evil tactic non-holistic doctors & dieticians often use.
 
There's a MUCH more deadly example, apart from Sea Salt, graphically illustrating this point. It otherwise shows the pervasive seriousness of this "Switching-Data" mechanism. We'll do salt in just a moment.
 
It's a big deal, though, likely effecting 80 or 90% of the population where that same 80 or 90% believes the EXACT opposite of the truth! To wit: because they've been told so a thousand times, people think that all "POLY" Vegetable Oil... beautiful, golden, and liquid at room temperature... is heart healthy! It's the being liquid at room temp that supposedly makes it healthful... tsk, tsk.
 
Briefly, here's the truth, the misdirection, and the "Slight of Hand": The medical "corpocracy" will & can grandly describe the truthful health benefits of 'UNrefined' "POLY" Food Oil, like Soy & Corn -small as those benefits are- knowing the only kind you will ever find at the grocery store is 'REFINED' oil! This oil, remember, is oil "rancid & toxic" sitting on the store shelf, reader! It is oil RBDed (refined-bleached-deodorized) at very high heat to destroy the rancid smell caused by the initial heat of pressing.
 
Recall that unlike the more healthful "UNrefined" oil which must be refrigerated after it is opened, the "Refined" Crap does not require refrigeration! Why? Because the oil has almost no resemblance to food after the extreme heat of the Deodorization treatment! The oil is "DEAD"!
 
However, it will stay "smelling fresh" for a very LONG time at room temp even though it is actually RANCID & teaming with toxic Lipid Peroxide. Oil, rotten as you bring it home from the store, reader!
 
When have you ever seen a bottle of food oil (from a grocery store) that said "Refrigerate after opening"? I'll tell you exactly when. NEVER!
 
See, the ONLY place you will ever find the only more slightly- healthful UNrefined POLY oil, oil requiring refrigeration after it is opened, is on line or at a health food store! That's it!
 
It may be you will even have a hard time finding it there because there's not much demand considering the much higher price & anyway, why bother! Your "trusted" dieticians inform you that the grocery store POLY Vegetable/Seed Oils (Corn, Soy, Canola, etc.) are heart- healthy oils... though, given the vastly more healthful "why bother" is because there's heart-healthy MONO Olive Oil to use for EVERYTHING instead of rancid (but "fresh-smelling") POLY food oil.
 
So, let's recap? *They* always describe the GOOD Oil, (UNrefined) in lecture - BUT you ALWAYS end up with the BAD Oil, (refined) in practice. Dieticians are very "Tricky" little shills for bad info. They will smile, then tinkle on your leg & tell you it's raining!
 
Consider, according to the respected British Medical Journal, Lancet... 75% of the stuff clogging your arteries is not cholesterol... it is Oxidized "POLY" vegetable food oils which have been RBDed, like Soy, Corn, Safflower, Sunflower, Canola, Grapeseed, Cottonseed, et al. And if you want to argue that Canola is a "mono oil"...please bring on your weak stuff & then I will eviscerate you with science.
 
OK, instead, you should only use true MONO Oils like Olive & Macadamia Nut! These don't go rancid at pressing, are not RBDed, don't need refrigeration, and truly are heart-healthy. Rounding this short list, believe it or not, is coconut oil. No, not the "refined" and hydrogenated crap tested by poly-oil pushers to malign and discredit coconut oil, but the magical, Hexan-Free, and UNrefined Coconut Oil. Reader, this only one example of the "Old Switch-A-Roo"!
 
"Back to the salt mines" and Gott's silly description of bewildering obfuscation regarding Sea Salt. The reader must keep in mind that Gott's errant objective is to make you think there is only ONE kind of sea salt! Additionally, he errantly implies that "ALL" Sea Salt is the same and like table salt, contains NO nutrients or Trace Minerals... except, of course, for the BIG, inappropriate, and out-of-whack Man-made dose of Iodine in a decidedly toxic table salt.
 
You see, the first words out of Gott's mouth are a LIE! Gott says, with regard to a difference in the salts (sea & table):
 
"In a word, [no difference]. The only real difference is in the taste and texture, but both have identical nutritional values."
 
See? Gott instructs authoritatively that there is no difference nutritionally between "Sea Salt" & table salt. Wrong, reader!
 
Actually, there is a really big difference, a huge difference, if you're talking about "Real" Sun-Dried (non-processed) Sea Salt... because Folks, it retains all 70+ trace minerals (to include iodine) found in sea water & can only be bought on line or at the health food store, never in a grocery store.
 
This true, unadulterated Sea Salt will always be pink, grey or off- white indicating the 70+ trace minerals are intact (NEVER pure white!). Different regions of the world create the varying colors due to the content of one, 2 or 3 different minerals being particularly high (usually the bigger ones like Magnesium)... in fact, there is even a "Black" Sea Salt due to the influence of vulcanization!
 
So, in this particular "switch-a-roo"...Gott's not describing real sea salt, reader, he is actually describing a typical grocery store brand, like Morton's or whatever "Sea-Salt," which is a "Phony- Baloney" refined sea-salt with the trace minerals REMOVED, so it is processed to pure white, and is the ONLY kind you will ever find at the grocery store.
 
I assume Gott knows this and he wants you to think ALL sea salt has no trace minerals, so he will feel safe that his lie about *no Minerals in sea salt* will hold true about 95% of the time, because 95% of the population WILL buy the grocery store Crap (fake sea salt) without the absolutely "Essential" trace minerals.
 
"Essential" means, you must have it or procure it because your body can't make it. You CANNOT get all the needed minerals and trace minerals in your food because many have been leached from the soil - not replaced in decades of bad farming with artificial commercial fertilizers!
 
Why would he tell this lie? Well in my humble opinion there is only one answer that makes, remote, sense. He does not want you to reap the health benefits of using pure, mineral-rich sea salt as opposed to toxic table salt or silly "Fake" sea salt. You see, the additives in man-made table salt, like fluoride & aluminum, can easily contribute to more illness, so he & the rest of his scurvy ilk can make more money & the Drug Companies can sell more pharmaceuticals... pharmz you don't need.
 
In other words? I have the opinion that he is a greedy and lying sociopath. If you want to read about another really classic "Gott- icism" regarding antacids and a lack of stomach acid, see "Tums & the Pendejo Dr. Gott" at: http://www.alienview.net/ALLT1.html#pendejo
 
Yes Folks, Real Sea Salt contains all the trace minerals required as cofactors, by the dozens, for every critical bodily function.
Too, it contains a small (trace) amount of natural iodine that is at the correct ratio with the rest of the trace minerals, resulting in a good chemical "Synergy."
 
This is unlike the big dose of the intruded iodine in table salt!
This means that the excessive iodine could drive the salt consumer into a High-Thyroid condition if she uses a lot of table salt... which is something the in-balance and non-intruded trace amount of iodine in Sea Salt could, likely, NEVER do.
 
OK let's look at another Gott declaration: "The answer is to eliminate salt from foods prepared at home and to remove the salt shaker from the dinner table."
 
What a tragedy, reader. This whole "Low-Salt... No-Salt" mantra has been a disaster in my opinion, especially for the elderly! Older persons experience a reduction of stomach acid with age & need a small to moderate amount of sodium-CHLORIDE (salt) to help make the desperately needed stomach acid, hydrogen-CHLORIDE (HCl).
 
Old people lacking adequate Stomach Acid do not properly digest protein & they WILL have "insufficient Acid Mal-absorption" of critical Minerals & Trace Minerals as minerals require lots of acid to digest. Also Heartburn & Reflux are caused by TOO LITTLE stomach acid - not too much. All, and I mean ALL MD's lie about reflux, heartburn & the "usefulness" of Antacids. Read "The Antacid Myth" at www.alienview.net/ALLT1.html#AntacidMyth
 
Remember Folks, 75% of the people over 50 have too LITTLE stomach acid (HCl) - not too much. So, you can see that putting old people on Antacids & a NO-Salt diet is slowly killing them while driving them into some long-term Polypharmacy, "Managed" care, for Max revenue retrieval. Nothing else makes sense!
 
"Polypharmacy," allowing for a short digression, has many manifestations, but my favorite is taking a pharmaceutical drug, not for an illness, reader, but only to counter the adverse effect of another drug, a drug not taken for the original illness, mind, but taken to counter the effect of another drug, not taken for the original illness, but ...shoot, just repeat the preceding 3 or 4 more times, build a fire and trumpet the old Merck cheer, "Mo' Money...Mo' Money"!
 
Here are just a couple of the "Low-Salt... No-Salt" manifestations, out of HUNDREDS!
 
Antacids & a NO-Salt diet can lead to auto-immune diseases, like joint-pain, due to low HCl (stomach acid). Low acid causes undigested protein in the gut to be perceived as a "foreign invader"...so your body attacks itself.
 
High Blood Pressure/Heart Disease can be caused or certainly exacerbated by a deficiency in minerals (especially Magnesium) as a result of low HCl in the elderly, further exacerbated by a "NO-Salt diet"... WAIT just one darn minute, Uncle Al... everybody knows salt causes high BP! Are you telling me that a NO-salt diet can lead to high Blood Pressure but using a small amount of "REAL" sea salt can help reduce high BP?
 
That's right... you need dozens of those trace minerals to act as co-factors for EVERYTHING to include utilization of Vitamins but especially for the utilization of Magnesium & all the other minerals! These reduce BP & heart disease!
 
Additionally, the aforementioned stomach acid will help insure digestion of protein & other nutrients needed for maintenance & repair. Finishing, the correct, if very acidic, stomach pH of less than 3 protects you from harmful bacteria, yeast bodies & whatever.
 
FYI: The best stomach pH (as long as you don't have gastritis or ulcers) is the same as "battery-acid"...a pH of 1. ...And, before you write, don't confuse a healthful acidic stomach pH with an unhealthful acidic blood and/or body pH! If you don't remember anything else I tell you, please remember this... ...the only way to have a healthful slightly alkaline Body pH, which will then help maintain your slightly alkaline Blood pH of 7.4, without having to leach alkaline minerals from your bones - is to start with a very acidic stomach pH (less than pH 3)!
 
If you have a more alkaline stomach pH (4 or greater) due to Tums, sodas, no-salt & old age, you will have an unhealthy Acidic body pH! As a consequence you won't efficiently absorb minerals & trace minerals which are very alkaline and needed to raise your bodily pH. Not blood pH, now, that must & will remain constant -if it changes more than a tiny amount from the 7.4, you will die- but if you eat only Acid-Forming processed foods, your body will leach calcium from your bones to keep the blood at 7.4 so you won't die... but you end up with "life destroying" Osteoporosis.
 
See, MD's who pass out FREE antacids like Halloween-candy & then put old folks on a "NO-Salt Diet"...should be incarcerated!
 
"Here Granny, the first few antacid "Fixes" are free but you'll have to pay through the nose later for the "expensive prescription stuff" like Nexium... then later you'll REALLY pay when that leads to Lipitor (for your blocked arteries) & Vioxx (for joint- pain)...BOTH the result of a chronic mineral/trace mineral deficiency after a life-time of Antacid abuse. The antacid, Prilosec, seems to be the freebie "gate-way drug" being "pushed" these days... "Just Say NO", Granny!
 
The just described deficiency of minerals & trace minerals in the elderly is so seriously prevalent that, in my opinion, even if a person uses real Sea Salt they should still add some plant-derived colloidal trace minerals to their diet & take a good Multi with the "bigger" minerals being Organically Chelated (bound to organic stuff like Citrate, Amino-Acids, Kreb's Cycle & others). Never use minerals bound to INorganic Crap like Carbonate or Oxide.
 
Dieticians in general:
 
To be fair, on reflection, even though Gott seems to be Bone-Head for not researching his answers thoroughly, it is not entirely his fault because MD's are not trained in nutrition. They just pretend they are.
 
MD's rely on dieticians to remind them of the current bogus guidelines by the FDA or the "New" Gov. sanctioned "Food Pyramid"(of Death) and any other hinky-dinky talking points needing to be trotted out! These glib distortions of facts, if regurgitated enough, slowly become "TRUE", eh? The lie told over and over is ultimately believed! What remains, then, but a plethora of "big lies" told "repeatedly" by our "cultural authority." This is a trifecta -a perfect storm- of our nutritional tragedy.
 
Predictably, Gott's sea salt answer above is a copy, word for word, from a response at the Mayo Clinic site by Katherine Zeratsky, R.D., L.D., the Mayo Clinic's dietitian.
 
Search her name at the Mayo Clinic site and you'll see her Bio & picture - she's as cute as a new puppy even if 666 is tattooed somewhere under her bleached "Surfer-girl" hair. I wonder if that hair is "refined" and "deodorized," too, like the toxic (RBDed) poly food oil she pushes like a perky druglord. Sorry... "But I crack me up"... and OK, let's assume her hair is not bleached.
 
Yeah Folks, Katherine even has the "Huevos Rancheros" to recommend a particularly evil POLY food oil, Cottonseed oil!
 
Reader, cotton & peanuts are 2 of the most poison-soaked crops around & homo Sapien-Sapien was never meant to consume "cotton- stuff" as food!
See? She represents the trusted body! It follows that when it comes to disseminating lies regarding nutrition & supplementation, the mainstream dieticians are the true "Spawns" of "Corporate Satanistas"! Consider too, is the good Dr. Gott merely stupid for parroting them?
 
No, "Doctor" Gott slugged it out though medical school, proving reasonable intelligence; stupidity is just NOT a justifiable "out" for him.
 
Additionally? He makes way too much money fronting for all the misery he facilitates. That's not the oath Gott swore, eh?
That's enough.
 
Questions?
