Mercury in Sea Salt!


The healthy trend now is to consume more organic and natural products and less of manufactured food where possible. However, in the process, it is important, to remember and to make sure the natural products consumed are clean and not contaminated. One clear example is SEA SALT

Sea salt, obtained by the evaporation of seawater, is used in cooking and cosmetics. Historically called bay salt, its mineral content gives it a different taste from table salt, which is pure sodium chloride, usually refined from mined rock salt (halite) or from sea salt. Areas that produce specialized sea salt include the Cayman Islands, Greece, France, Ireland, Colombia, Sicily, Apulia in Italy, Maldon in Essex UK, and Hawaii, Maine, Utah, the San Francisco Bay, and Cape Cod in the United States. Generally more expensive than table salt, it is commonly used in gourmet cooking and specialty potato chips, particularly the kettle cooked variety.

The principle of the production is the evaporation of the water from the brine of the sea. In warm and dry climates this may be done entirely by solar energy, but in other climates fuel must be used. For this reason, sea salt production is now almost entirely an industry of Mediterranean and other warm, dry climates.

The dilute brine of the sea was largely evaporated by the sun, and the concentrated slurry of salt and mud was scraped up. The slurry was washed with clean sea water so that the impurities settled out of the now concentrated brine. This was poured into shallow pans lightly baked from the local marine clay, which were set on fist-sized clay pillars over a peat fire for the final evaporation. The dried salt was then scraped out and sold.

Sea salt and table salt have the same nutritional value. The real differences between sea salt and table salt are in their taste and texture. Table salt is typically from rock salt, which is mined from mineral deposits. Sea salt is available in fine or coarse grain. Sea salt doesn't contain iodine or any other additives. However, if you use sea salt you typically don't have to worry about not getting enough iodine in your diet because iodine is available in many other foods, including dairy products, seafood and many processed foods.

In the production of sea salt as described above, by evaporation, heavy metals contamination is probably not considered or checked. Even though sea salts are cleaned of other contaminants, it is still highly likely that toxic heavy metals contaimination remains.

In this regard, we have an interesting discovery by a user of our HMT General kit when he tested the sea salt he bought. It showed clearly there was a high level of mercury in that sample. This suggests that the mercury present in that sample was at least 5 parts per million (ppm)! (see picture to the right he sent in after testing with Osumex HMT General kit)


Use Osumex HMT General kit to check the sea salt you use for mercury contamination! Do not leave this to chance because you do not want to be ingesting mercury as it is shown that even the mildest contamination over a period of time can cause health problems.

Use Osumex HMT Mercury kit to check yourself for even the slightest mercury contamination! Do notleave this to chance as it is indicated above that even the mildest contamination over a period of time can cause health problems.
