Salt Germs.
“Salt, of nil things, we deem germ
proof: but, as a matter of fact, salt Is
one of the most germ ridden foods we
eat”
The speaker, a physiologist, con
tinued:
“You know gray salt, the *gros sel*
that gourmands eat with boiled beef?
Well, that salt is made gray by the ad
dition of mud, plain mud: hence it al
ways contains from 0.000 to 75.000
bacterial colonies per gram. Refined
salt white salt, is almost as bad.
It lies, you know, in the refinery un
der a blanket of clay, and its refining
consists of a sea water bath, after
which it is dried and heated to the
point of crystallization. All this fails,
of course, to remove from it its 2,000
or 3,000 bacterial colonies per gram
that it imbibed from its clay blanket
The pure food people should look to
our salt This white, clean stuff is
alive with germs. \et It would be
easy to refine It so as to make It
germ free.”—Exchange.
