“ I just want to make sure that you understand salt is dangerous. Salt is an explosive. It is more volatile than nitroglycerin. If you had a pure cake of sodium as big as a football it would take out all of New York City. Just like a 200 ton hydrogen bomb could take out New York City and all of its buildings. One crystal this big would take out all of New York City. So the war department, the industrial military complex, as President Eisenhower called it disparagingly... he said that we will never have peace as long as they run the government, as long as they run the military because they want to make a profit on war. Anyway the government, the military gave General Electric 2 billion dollars to make a weapon, out of salt. My father worked on the project for 6 years. It was so untenable they could not make it into a bomb, thank God. Because one and a half degree temperature change a completely isolated sodium could set it off. So they could never temper it, never break it down and ulitize it. [As an aside to the audience present: I saw someone wearing a baseball cap ? Cubs hat?? Cincinnati used to have it; they changed it when I was a kid.] Salt is a very bad thing. The reason that I say don't add salt to cheeses is because when it goes into the body, it starts breaking up the cheese and then causing your body to digest it. The problem: what happens to you in the blood is that if you have salt in there of course your body will take the sodium chloride, or the sodium potassium or however you're getting the sodium, and separate it. It will isolated it because it’s in rock form. We don't eat we rock, plants eat rock. So what happens is they starts exploding in the blood. You have all of these nutrients - a smorgasbord of nutrients anywhere from 93 to 117 nutrients - that feed a cell every time it opens to eat. If you have salt in the blood, it breaks those up and fractionates it. So a cell may be getting 23 nutrients instead of 93 to 117; it may get 50. You are never getting a balanced diet if you're eating salt - any kind of salt - because it will be separated and it will cause explosions and fractionations throughout your body. You saw it exploded, that one guy’s skin as it came out. He was as heavy chip eater, and that's how his body handles it. Throwing it out his entire abdominal area. So it must have been stored in the abdominal area somewhere to do that. So salt is not a good thing, it is a horrible thing; it's the next worse thing to cooking. ”
