Discovery Channel to air new "Salt" show explaining "How Stuff Works"
Set your Tivo or plan to be home two weeks from tonight when the Discovery Channel debuts its new "Salt" episode in its popular "How Stuff Works" series. The show promises to "delve into the science of salt, the prehistoric, life-sustaining mineral that has 14,000 known uses from seasoning food to so much more." We can hardly wait!
Actually, you DON'T have to wait. Discovery Channel's website has already provided an introduction to its hour-long video, entitled "How Salt Works." Authors Tracy Wilson and Shanna Freeman range widely from the chemical properties of salt, the various production technologies, to salt in history and its myriad uses including the medical controversy over whether it would be advantageous for everyone to reduce dietary salt.
The show will debut Thursday, January 29 at 8 pm EST and be shown again four hours later, midnight that same night. And doubtless repeatedly in the coming weeks.
That's two new "Salt" shows in two months, the other being on The History Channel. Get out that microwave popcorn and have an enjoyable hour.
