Foods that have been processed in some way or changed are considered ârefined.â Since one or more of their edible components is removed in the processing, these foods are technically no longer considered ânatural.â. One reason this is troublesome is because nutrients are lost in the processing. For example, when an orange is processed into orange juice, the membrane and pulp are removed. Vitamins, minerals, and fiber are also removed when you do not eat a whole orange. Orange juice is also higher in calories since one cup of orange juice is equivalent to about four oranges.
Dextrose, also known as refined sugar, is used as a stabilizer so that iodide will stay in the salt. The final purity of food-grade salt is between 99.7-99.95% âpureâ. Pure refers to the sodium and chloride content.The other âimpuritiesâ, including healthy minerals and elements, have been removed from refined salt.or example, unrefined sea salt (e.g., Celtic Sea Salt) contains over 80 minerals and elementsâall the natural elements necessary for life. This is contrasted with refined salt which contains two major items: sodium and chloride.
