Salt is salt, right? of course not. There are also many differences in the various brands of salt. This chapter will focus on the differences between refined and unrefined salt. The natural form of salt is called unrefined salt. Unrefined salt has not been altered by humans. Therefore, it contains many different minerals and elements that are beneficial to the body.

This is in contrast to refined salt, which contains two main items: sodium and chloride.
