Answer
Dear Romeo,
The other day I ran out of salt. I have been wanting to get sea salt for quite some time so I decided that would be what I would replace my old salt with. The day that I went to the grocery store to get sea salt the grocery store was crazy, or at least the aisle where the salt was at was crazy, and so I didn't have a lot of time to look. I grabbed the first container of sea salt that I could find put it into my shopping cart and then continued with my shopping. Normally I am an avid fan of extensively reading the containers and labels of food and so when I got home and looked more closely at the container of Hain Pure Foods Sea Salt, the sea salt that I had got, I found something very strange about it. The words, "This salt does not supply iodide, a necessary nutrient" were written across the front and back of the container as well as on the side underneath the ingredients with the added sentence "calcium silicate is added to prevent salt from caking." I'll admit that I was not familiar with either of these things and decided to do a little research to get to the bottom of the addition of calcium silicate and the lack of iodide. Hain Pure Foods Sea Salt is not alone in such labeling, it is required by law to clearly disclose if the salt has been iodized. It is not good for you to have too little or too much iodine, but one fourth of a teaspoon of iodized salt provides around ninety-five micrograms of iodine. Although this would appear to be small it is nearly two thirds of the recommended daily intake for an adult which is 150 micrograms. As for calcium silicate, it has no adverse effects to health that are known and simply is an anti-caking additive to salt. Well I don't want my son or myself to get an iodine deficiency and I don't want to have us consume it in excess though either. My solution is to continue using the Hain Pure Foods Sea Salt as well as a salt that has been iodized. The taste of the salt is good, and I would recommend it as an inexpensive sea salt to anyone after explaining that it was in fact not iodized, as that will certainly be something that anyone should think about before buying their salt.
