TABLE SALT

Table salt is a crystalline solid consisting mainly of sodium chloride, found within rocks where it originated from the evaporation of ancient seas.


Table salt (commonly called just "salt"), is a dietary essential as it contains sodium, although too much can be harmful.


An overdose of sodium - more than the body can deal with through homeostasis, via the kidneys - interferes with nerve and muscle function and blood chemistry and can cause serious damage to the body, even death.
