[QUOTE="Hippie Rancher, post: 461615, member: 4203"] Of course there is. Theoretically you could dilute it to molecular levels. Some mineralized salts don't have enough minerals - they are too dilute so people buy other mineral mixtures/products. That also flies in the face of your contention that the salt is an attractant. If you can't hold intake down with an unlimited amount of salt then why use any at all? They don't actually need much. Certain deficiencies sure as heck produce certain cravings - that is where the idea of "wisdom" comes from and it is pretty real. I am not that well versed but have seen some evidence that they WILL choose what they need. Do you know of any studies? I think there was an outfit in Iowa that was doing some work with self-selecting minerals using a sort of cafeteria style feeder box. [/QUOTE]
