Do the studies showing increased A I issues with salt consumption account for those using sea salt? Table salt denatured and whitened versus salts with minerals isn't the same.

Don't much matter, its all the sodium.
Another thing that goes on from oxidation is hypochlorous acid
if a self protein becomes chlorinated then the immune system thinks it
is foreign.
