"spinach" nope and of almonds not too many either. But my point is, sodium ferrocyanide intake is not beneficial, (unlike ordinary sodium). Even if it might do no harm, why should I risk even little harm? And with adding up, well

Yup, there are cheap salts with their own toxins and even expensive Himalaya salt can probably contain bad stuff. But at least here in germany, there are (non government) organisations that test food for their poisons and you can buy their

As well as in any processed food I am buying, yes I am aware of that. But when I have the choice, I prefer the non toxic salt (and it is still mindblowing to me, how it became normal to add cyanide to salt in the first place).

They are toxic. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_ferrocyanide The amount is small enough, that it is supposed to do no harm, but I just prefer my salt without cyanide.

Well yes, it depends on your threat level. If you are a dissident in Iran, you really should not trust some random VPN. Tor is probably safe enough, but there is also no guarantee, that the chinese are not sharing with them, because as far

If I don't care, that my IP gets exposed, than I would not use a VPN in the first place. (In many places it can trivially linked to your real ID, if there is a court order) Unless the use case is circumventing region barriers.
