Although table salt is a common staple food in your home, you should stay away from salt imported from China. Although China is one of the world’s leading salt producers, the process used to make so much of this ingredient makes salt unsafe for humans.
Chinese salt is usually filled with metals and other substances that should never enter the human body. Since the vast majority of Chinese salt is unsafe for human consumption, Chinese companies are supposed to sell the product as salt for chemical use, which is never used for cooking. However, many manufacturers have been selling this unsafe salt for use as table salt for years.
