Thinking to buy more salt yesterday, I was surprised and dismayed to find every box of iodized salt in a local grocery store also listed dextrose as an ingredient.
When did they start doing that? My old box of salt has only salt, iodide, and something to keep the salt free-flowing.
It doesn't do much good for people trying to decrease the amount of sugar they consume to have it added to salt.
Since sugar is addictive and since there's no good reason to add sugar to salt, why did the salt companies add it? What were they thinking? Is it to keep people tied to their product who would otherwise decrease the amount of salt they're putting in their food?
Are we going to have to demand sugar-free salt?
