What kind of salt is healthy for you?

Answer 1

All salt is healthy, because it's essential to the functioning of your body. However, most people today (in the developed world) are getting more salt than they need. This can pose health risks.

Answer:

"Salt" is a general term covering any compound made of a metal and a halide or acidic ion. Although many people thinks "salt" is limited to sodium chloride (common table salt) and divide it up by being sea salt or mined (rock) salt or even iodized (with idodine added) or kosher it is all the same chemically speaking. We have other salts in our diest such as nitrate salts in preserved meats, acetate salts in artificial vinegar flavours, sulfate salts in mediactions, and some potassium salts. All these are safe to us in moderation.

It should be noted that many salts are toxic if either of their components are toxic. These would include lead or other heavy metal salts, radioactive salts or salts with toxic negative ion components such as sodium cyanide. These are not found in normal diets.
