Great question. I got a pair o shakers (got to post a pic, they are hilarious john deer ones) and one had only one hole while the other had three. Since I never use pepper I only put salt in the multi holed one.

I guess I throw off Orbax's study.

you two are still the vast minority ;D

(CNN) -- Scientists have been fighting over the salt shaker for decades -- ever since early studies linked sodium to high blood pressure.

Many of these studies have since been discontinued, leaving patients confused about how much salt is too much.

Recently, numerous large-scale studies have looked closely at salt and blood pressure and found the problem isn't just too much salt, it's not enough minerals.

"For too long we've ignored the fact that blood pressure regulation is more closely tied to calcium, potassium and magnesium than it ever was to sodium," says Dr. David McCarron of Oregon Health Sciences University.

But don't start pouring on the salt just yet. Many people with high blood pressure still need to cut back on salt.


Dr. David McCarron
"We don't want to abandon the salt message, but we want to expand upon it and say that there are other things that are important, too," says Chris Rosenbloom of the American Dietetic Association.


considering that most reactions in your body are controlled by mineral charge gates operating on charge differentials, you probably dont want to throw the balance out too much

you want answers... you cant handle the truth... here u go...

Question: Which shaker is used for salt and which for pepper (in terms of the number of holes)? Answer: Protocol and Etiquette Consultant John G. Robertson responds: The salt shaker may be distinguished primarily by the size of the holes, and then by the number of holes. Salt is coarser than pepper, and needs the larger hole. It is also heavier and flows much more freely than pepper, accordingly there are often fewer holes on the salt shaker to help control the flow. However, there is no manufacturing standard.

so now u know and knowing is half the battle
