Salt and Health
 
"Salt is almost entirely composed of sodium chloride (NaCl). It also contains small amounts of other minerals. It can be enriched with iodine or fluoride.
 
Sodium plays a key role in maintaining the water balance between the interior and exterior of cells. This is essential for nerve transmission and muscle contractions. It also plays an important role in the intestinal absorption of chlorine, amino acids, glucose, and water, and in their reabsorption by the kidneys. Sodium is eliminated mainly through urine and perspiration."
