Preparedness Tip from
Brother Dan B of the Pheasant Meadow ward
“Salt is the staff of Life
and important to survival. Our Testimonies are equally important to our Daily
Survival. Each must be used daily so we can grow and receive daily nourishment.
A 50 lb. bag of Real Salt (fine) may be purchased at IFA for $8.00. What is the
cost of gaining or growing YOUR Testimony.
If you are curious, as I
was about “real” salt let me share a little bit of what I learned.
Refined / Unrefined Salt
Refined salt is brined in a solution which can include
sulfuric acid or chlorine and heated.
This can remove many minerals.
Anti-caking and conditioning agents are also added to increase shelf
life. Iodide may be added.
