my dearest.....chuck,
why do you feel the need to be soooooooooo condescending????
(assuming a tone of superiority, or a patronizing attitude)
We like to treat eachother as equals here, and be kind to one another.
This is a cooking web for crying out loud. Lighten up!!!!!

There is absolutely no reason to process salt to remove the sodium. Salt is 99% sodium anyway, so what exactly are you removing? And what are you NOT removing -- IMPURITIES, that's what.
Just use real natural salt in smaller quantities, for goshsake!!
It's a gimmick and a stupid one at that.
Also, these days most humans get more than enough iodine in the things they eat every day and have no need whatsoever to consume iodized salt. When was the last time you saw someone with a goiter?

I read the link Janet posted, and Campbell's company is not doing the processing: The company said it has an exclusive agreement with the supplier of the salt, which achieves its lower sodium levels through a particular evaporation and crystallization process. [ link]. Additionally, the language in the article indicates the process of lowering the sodium content is a naturally occurring process rather than a chemical one. As far as iodizing table salt, I found the following information at About: Iodine and the Thyroid: There are many areas around the world where soils are deficient in iodine, and iodine must be added to the diet -- usually through iodized salt. In the U.S., for example, the area around the Great Lakes used to be known as the goiter belt because the soil is particular iodine-deficient, and this resulted in higher incidence of goiter among residents of the area. Earlier in the 20th century, however, iodized salt almost wiped out iodine deficiency in the U.S. entirely.
Other countries have not had such concerted iodization programs. In 1999, global health experts announced that iodine deficiency continues to be a serious threat to global health. Insufficient iodine is, in fact, considered is the most common -- yet also most preventable -- cause of brain damage throughout the world, with 1.6 billion people at risk. -- Lisa |

I was aghast at finding out the Campbell's is processing NATURAL salt to remove some of the sodium.
Frankenfoods DO NOT appeal to me!
Shame on them!
There is absolutely nothing wrong with regular sea salt, though it's hardly necessary to use something that expensive in soup. Kosher salt will do.
And yes, the reason people use KOSHER salt over table salt is that it usually does not contain iodine or anti-caking agents like table salt. Some brands do, though, so check the label. I recommend DIAMOND CRYSTAL brand.
Sea salt is favored because it has trace quantities of minerals and other things from the sea that flavor the salt slightly, making it more interesting to the palate. Its a kind of salt that is better used as a finishing salt than as an ingredient.

Doc wrote..... Unless Campbells is processing natural salt with additional chemicals to lower the salt's sodium content. Hopefully not.
" Doc, accordig to the link Lisa listed, that is exactly the case! THIS is certainly an interesting thread... to say the least! Lisa the article you "googled" in post # 19 about "iodine" is exactly what I was looking for someone mentioning! I'm concerned whether the article is true in stating iodine added to table salt helps with the thyroid!!!!! Doc, Bob??? If I may ....isn't the reason or at least ONE reason sea salt, kosher salt, is used in kitchens in restaraunts, on cooking shows and the like, is the absence of iodine that's added to table salt?? Since so many people have an allergy to it? AND, you can use less of the sea or kosher salt and get the same effect? David hit the topic of so much sodium/msg etc added for convenience!!! THAT'S why the American diet is soooooo different than the rest of the world....convenience!!! Because we've been bombarded with pre-packaged & fast foods that taste so good, we have to have.....well that's another topic, I'm sure!  -- Edited by 795120 at 01/18/2009 9:21 AM PST |

An interesting article about lower-sodium sea salt in Campbell's soup, from a food industry site. |

I don't think I was describing it correctly. I used "pure" as lack of a better word. When I taste table salt it leaves almost a burning sensation on my tongue and is very harsh. The sea salt is much smoother and that's what I meant to say.

Jennifer F. wrote: Sea salt definitely TASTES better. I cannot even use regular table salt anymore. It tastes horrible and doesn't taste pure. That's a rather odd way of perceiving it, as one of the traits that distinguishes sea salt from regular table salt is that it is less pure. That is to say, table salt is nearly pure sodium chloride, while sea salt contains higher amounts of impurities that give it a somewhat different flavor. The basis for believing that the use of sea salt is good for reducing one's sodium intake seems to be the belief that it is more effective than regular table salt as a flavor enhancer, and therefore you can use less of it to get the same effect. |
