YUNGLURD:
Mr know all! subtlemee: there are so many inscriptions on the back pack of the salt so we all got confused... "SO MANY INSCRIPTIONS!"
Really? How many?
Count them for us!
"EVERYONE" was confused?
How did you determine that? When were you in communication with "everyone," and they all told you that they were "confused?"
I strongly doubt that you were in contact with everyone who had viewed my post, and that they all told you that they were "confused." What is wrong with you? Someone warns you about a potential threat to your HEALTH- and all you do is MOCK?? |

Are you really out to warn us about a potential threat or your aim is to jeer at Nigerians and their *poor understanding of western education*? (according to you),then diss people who dare to comment,i still strongly maintain that you need to see a therapist because your cockiness stems from a psychological disorder of one trying to do something to feel good and better than others.. For all we know you could've lifted this from the Internet do a little research on Google and come out here to brag about studying abroad and nobody cares..we all have different fields in which we excel Finally..take your chemical prowess and drag the offenders to court if only you can face people because from what I've deduced you prefer hiding behind the keyboard.. Teachers are subtle not haughty |

Neither are you expected to be- but very many Nigerians of Internet Contributor-age are taught Science in school- or, should I say, they are taught Scientific Facts- mostly completely unrelated to their later success in life.
What I mean to say is that most Nigerian Science students have substantially wasted their sponsors' money, and not really bothered to understand what they have been taught in School, merely satisfied to answer pre-set questions in exams- like a monkey in a lab, putting square pegs into square holes, and round pegs into round holes, to get a banana reward. (Have you, or any other Nairalander, even heard of such an experiment?)
The Monkeys cannot understand the purposes of such experiments- nor do Nigerians in general understand the purpose of Western Education.
There should have been scores into hundreds of Nairalanders commenting on my discovery by now.
We were taught in my day, that Common Salt is SODIUM CHLORIDE: formula NaCl.
This is important in the Human body- it is necessary to maintain Osmotic pressure, for one thing.
IODINE, formula I, is a Halogen, in the same class as Chlorine, but lower down in the Periodic Table.
It is important in the body, in maintaining THYROID functions- lack of it causes the Thyroid gland to swell up, a terrible neck ailment called GOITRE. The food in markets is sometimes deficient in Iodine- so the Oyinbos got the bright idea of adding Iodine to Salt, so that everyone would get a dose- whether they wanted one or not.
However, Salt in its natural form is notorious for clumping together.
When I grew up in England, the most popular Table Salt seemed to be a brand called "SAXA."
I remember reading units label: "To ensure the smooth-running qualities of this product, a small amount of Magnesium Chloride (or was that Sulphate? I'm thinking it was Magnesium Sulphate- maybe both,) has been added. I just checked on Google, and it appears that this has been replaced by something called "SODIUM HEXACYANOFERRATE II."
I have not kept up with Chemistry nomenclature, and do not know this formula off-head- Google our friend, to the rescue!
It is Na4Fe(CN)6.
They used to call that "SODIUM FERROCYANIDE."
Before that, it was called "YELLOW PRUSSIATE OF SODA."
I'm sure that that means nothing to most readers today- PRUSSIC ACID is a very important chemical- its modern name is HYDOGEN CYANIDE: formula HCN.
Is all this ringing any bells?
Oyinbo has come up with a process to put CYANIDES in our diet- and no one is alarmed? Excellent post ! Yes I am alarmed ! |
