Darlene Tabler asked: We’ve all heard that salt is bad for you. But actually sodium is needed for every cell in the body, making salt essential to living a healthy life. What many do not realize is that there is refined table salt and there is Sea Salt. They are completely different.Regular refined table salt is an unnatural substance striped of its valuable nutrients and is about 97.5 % sodium chloride.

In a recent Norwegian Study some problems concerning salmon grown on a vegetarian diet and the quality of their fatty acids was raised. It seems that more and more salmon is grown on a diet consisting of on a diet of vegetable fats. These are cheaper, more convenient and a good marketing argument then their natural counterparts.A salmon fish is not a vegetarian by nature, its a carnivore, a hunter. Still the health of the Salmon seems to be unaffected is you feed them vegetables. Salmon grown that way are ecological friendly, great for vegetarian humans who understand their need for Omega-3 fatty acids and more profitable for those that grow them. Looks like a triple or quadruple win, but is it?The same Norwegian study …
