Rob,
I just listened to this show today, excellent job talking about a super controversial topic
You gave lots of good tips that people RARELY give when talking about salt.
I would like to address one small segment of the show. You had someone ask you a question about heating up two cups of water in the microwave, adding the salt to dissolve it and then adding the rest of the water. You had mentioned this was fine, but that isn't always true.
Whenever people mix salt, they should add the salt to the water, never the water to the salt. The reason for this is that if you have a large amount of salt with very little water, you can actually cause precipitation of some of the salt when it hits the water. This can result in some of the elements in the salt to turn into unavailable forms. This can be minor, or it could have a big effect on
pH or Calcium or Alkalinity levels.
So the guy adding salt to two cups of water, it could be fine, but if he sees any white residue form in the water (like a mini snow storm) then he is getting some of this precipitation.
This isn't a HUGE problem in most cases, but I thought it was something worth mentioning. If people want to read more about that, Dr Randy Holmes Farley wrote something about it, not sure which article though.
