We have an extensive salt trade going back through all of recorded history, along with most people living near the ocean.
Salt used to be extremely expensive, and there have even been wars fought over the salt trade.
As cited elsewhere in this thread, birth defects, and health issues abound without idodine too, which is why iodised salt is a law in many countries.
Through most of history, you ate salt water fish and also shellfish, or became sickly, and died.
Please do a little research. This isn't a guess, it's fact.
- cheese_goddess 4y agoIt's nonsense is what it is. Do you think the steppe nomads ate "salt water fish and also sellfish"? The people who lived in mountains, in the center of Europe or Africa and far away from sea? Recorded history is 5000 years btw but we've been around for more than 200,000 years, and most people definitely did not live near the ocean for all that period. Instead of telling me to "do a little research" you show me what "research" you did that supports your preposterous ideas.
