This is a natural herb that has proven to have no side effects when used as an herb for cooking. Like almost all things, when taken in large doses, there could be some minor side effects. Reports of bloating and gas can result from taking too much fenugreek.
The salinity of water in the ocean averages about 35 parts per thousand (ppt). The mixture of seawater and fresh water in estuaries is called brackish water and its salinity can range from 0.5 to 35 ppt.
Remember that % is the symbol for percent or parts per hundred -- divide % by ten or add another zero in the denominator and you have parts per thousand. Thus, a salinity value of 35 o /oo means 35 parts of dissolved salt per 1,000 parts of sea water. Similarly, a sodium (Na +) concentration of 10 o /oo means 10 pounds of sodium per 1,000 pounds of water. The salinity of sea water exhibits a variation around an average value of 35.5 o /oo in the world's oceans depending on the balance between evaporation (increasing salinity) and precipitation (decreasing salinity).
