Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Smart Salt, a mineral-based salt alternative, reduces up to 60 percent of sodium in foods.

"Smart Salt, based on magnesal, is a patented technology for a co-crystal that is primarily based on magnesium - a desirable mineral often deficient in our diets," said Deborah Rolf, Executive Vice President, Americas-Smart Salt, Inc. at the 2010 Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) Annual Meeting & Food Expo (IFT10) on July 19.

"With the common name of magnesal, this innovative sodium alternative provides an unsurpassed level of taste enhancement."

Smart Salt is described as being appropriate for seasoning and baking just like salt without sacrificing taste and also adding "10% of your daily recommended values of potassium and magnesium."

Expect to find Smart Salt on shelves and highlighted in various products and heart-healthy menus in the coming months, for more information, go to:  http://www.smartsalt.com
