Please note that to be recognized by the Gerontology Research Group, a birth certificate is not enough on its own. Official state documentation from different points in life (census, marriage certificate, etc.) are required and testimonies of private individuals do not count.
Here is the website.

Thanks, Hua, for the compliment. I do work very hard to give my readers excellent information and a balanced point-of-view.

I will consider your kind invitation when my life settles down a bit.

Best Regards,

Comment on Whole Salt Helps You Sleep and Keeps You Strong by em

Dear Robert,

“Whole salt” is my own term. You won’t find it called this in the marketplace. The healthiest “sea salts” qualify as whole-salt, but not every sea salt is.

Use Google to get the information for Celtic sea salt from the Grain and Salt Society; this is whole-salt. You can get it online from them. Trader Joe’s (if you are in America) has a celtic grey salt which is likely a good salt from Brittany.

The “salt” that manufacturer’s add to foods is rarely a whole-salt; it is usually just sodium chloride (all that remains from whole ocean salt after they have “refined” it). What refining means is they strip-out the valuable minerals whole-ocean-salt contains and sell them, individually, for larger amounts of money to the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and manufacturing sectors.

Regular table-salt is NOT what our bodies need and it is harmful, especially in pre-made deli and factory food quantities.

The salts which NATURALLY occur in foods are generally healthful, but, for example, anchovies are salted-down in the preservation process, so that is NOT naturally-occurring salt! Canned tuna also has added salt which is just sodium chloride.

Just buy the whole, ocean salt from Brittany (“Celtic Sea Salt). Use it sparingly, too, but at least it is pristine and a whole-food.
