[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 143904, member: 18023"] I would object to the idea that sodium has 74 minerals/elements in it. Sodium is an element and salt is [I]sodium[/I] chloride. No other minerals at all. Without listening to the video, no doubt they are talking about some sort of sea water with a lot of other minerals in it. In most diets it's hard to avoid salt since it's in a lot of foods. So depending on what you eat, you get plenty of salt. I get why they say to avoid salt for many people. But I don't avoid salt and use it when I want to, usually eggs, popcorn or salads, and eat foods with fish sauce / soy sauce which tends to have salt in it. I eat quite a varied diet and likely get whatever mineral/elements i need from that. IME it's wise to avoid or at least be very careful with high potency anything, any supplement that labels itself as high potency. In my 30s I use to take mineral supplements, they gave me a kidney stone, so as a consequence of that learning experience the only mineral I ever supplement are boron, magnesium and I eat a few Brazil nuts for the selenium.
