[TheForge] Forge welding...The unfortunate truth OT:

[peter fels]

As Bruce says ,you can croak from lack of table salt..processed or not. Our blood is a bit of the sea we carry with us and if it gets out of adjustment, we have problems. 
Salt never has had other nutritional value, though there are a number of different salts we need or make.
The BP problems are probably caused by a complex of issues.
