I have found that table salt causes my ankles to swell (a lot). I switched to Himalayan salt and my ankles don't swell at all. I don't know why, but it's the best reason for me to use the Himalyan salt.
My dad has swelling in his ankles too. This is something we can check
If you lack of water i think thats the reason, but am using pink salt from Pakistan. No issue at all.
I love himalayan salt i use it everyday
Because its health benefits are true and real...thanks for your comment 🙏❤️
I think that could be the anti-caking agent in table salt, you could give rock salt a try.
You’ll go insane if you start questioning every single little thing. Just enjoy your Himalayan salt.
only affects people with low IQ. You should question everything. Take everything with a grainof salt.

Not questioning anything implies a lack of empathy, perhaps narcissism, or even a sense of grandiosity.

Yah sure. Next.. we'll be mining YOUR country for its minerals..
I've been using Himalayan salt for years......not quitting anytime soon!

All salt originally came from the oceans.

I use Redmond's Real Salt, It has a pleasant flavor over regular table salt and contains more trace minerals and . . . is local to my area and cheaper than most gourmet salts.
I use redmond real salt, too; I've just been stuck on it for years, though I've tried gourmet salts, like colima
Redmmonds smoked salt 😚👌
I like it too and prefer it over all other types of salt.
Unfortunately, here in in the northeast it costs a fortune.
😢😢😢
I also use Redmond. Good to buy American if all else is equal. Also, Persian salt comes from Iran, which is doing it's best to harm the US and to destroy Israel. Why contribute to their economy?
Me, Too !
The so-called Himalayan salt has been mined at Khewra in the north of Punjab Province in Pakistan for at least a millennium if not longer. It has been consumed by countless generations of people in what is now Pakistan and northern India without showing any ill effects. Millions of years ago the area had been covered by the sea. Technically, it is a variant of sea salt with a proven history of safety. If it had been any different the effects would have been evident by now.
A lot less than millions of years ago!
Interestingly, I saw a post from someone who said the locals didn't use the Himalayan salt, they preferred real sea salt... Idk, I don't live there... ☺
@@wesleygordon1645 yes, they cannot prove millions of years but claim it!
We don't know about the health effects as the population is not healthy and there are thousands of confounders that you cannot eliminate.

@@sandynightingale273 Thank you! You answered my question. I have been wondering about this since the time I noticed the change in the name. So, is the salt real or good? I have been putting it in my water.
ME TOO! BOUGHT TONS TWO YEARS AGO! NOT CHANGING! NOT FROM COSCO.
Compared to refined sea salt, Himalayan Rock Salt is great. I recently test himalayan rock salt and obtained XRF report. Even Au(Gold) nano particles have been identified as it should be. Normally, sea water contains 92 minerals out of which 84 minerals have been identified. Nobody can find Magnisium and Potassium in refined sea salt. It may be one of the reasons that high blood pressure crops up. Potassium is one of the three main electrolytes. In the absence of Potassium, only Sodium and Chloride creates the cellular fluid imbalance, resulting high blood pressure.
😂 The amounts of minerals you obtain from added salt are negligible, so it makes no real difference at all!
Now it has plastic.
Very nicely explained by you
Be very careful, I used to think that too, until I found out there's ONE MINERAL it doesn't contain enough of: IODINE. I got an iodine deficiency and didn't know it for years, they thought it was low thyroid and had me on thyroid med. Turned out it was low iodine which if goes on for a long time presents itself as low thyroid. Iodized salt is much better for light eaters and those that don't eat seaweed.
Try Celtic salt
Very interesting video. I noticed you have said nothing about the recent information that there is plastics in salt that is captured from the sea (as opposed to mined salt formed from water before plastic pollution), so I would like to hear your thoughts on that and how it plays into your choice, if at all.
That was my first thought😦My guess is the plastic problem is much worse than generally known
The major brands filter these and other contaminants our
He did not review any sea salt in this video.
@@hb4196 I checked many Sea Salts and the Major brands in N. America are OK. One can likely go to one online and check the specs. I just bought some Redman.
My biggest issue with Himalayan pink salt is the STONE content ...... I noticed I crunch miniature stones from time to time and always thought it was due to me not washing my foods properly but someone told me about this same crunch so i decided to do a test for myself.....I heated up a 1/2 cup of water and dissolved a tablespoon in it...... there is a lot of pink residue after letting it settle for a few minutes and after draining off all the liquid, i put a bit in my mouth... crunchy stone content for sure .. so i have been dissolving all of my salt since then and using it this new way in liquid form.... no more stones in my food !!!!
I normally grind it
I use Himalayan salt about 15 years, and I don't had it with the stones. But yes, it contains plenty minerals of pink color, which is sitting on the bottom when dissolved in water. That minerals are good for vegetable fermentation. I use grinder for direct use on meats or roasted food.
thank you for sharing this
Could be other minerals also
You have to grind it. Just like peppercorns. That's why you're getting stones. You can get pink salt with the grinder built into the container. If you can't where you live then buy a grinder & fill it..
Thankyoufor wasting 11 minutes telling me my Himalayan Pink salt isn't as good as Persian blue salt...I'll continue with the Pink Himalayan
Seems using a few sprinkles of salt as a key approach to getting minerals is like spitting into the ocean. I'm more concerned about any chemicals added in the processing such as to limit clumping.
It should be listed on the ingredients. Usually aluminium or potassium.
I checked my pink salt, I got from Trader Joe's. It says on the label, it doesn't contain iodine. But you didn't mention that, and I didn't understand what the problem is with pink salt, only minor mineral differences. I'll continue to use it, until I find a better replacement.
Celtic salt...watch barbara o'neall...she is AWESOME
iodine is lacking in the western diet. It protects you from radiation and necessary for good health. Just don't over do it.
Agreed: Celtic Sea Salt. See Barbara O'Neil...
Redmond salt
Iodine enriched pink salt is available at some grocery stores. Read the labels.
On Himalayan pink salt just over six months. Happy and healthy.
I object to the fact that 'table salt' and many 'sea salt' brands are HEATED to extremely high temperatures and chemically stripped of minerals. I personally use a non-heated salt that is sold as an agricultural mineral supplement for the soil. It is called SEA-90. The form certified for human consumption is called Baja Gold. Both are collected from the ocean on the eastern desert side of the Mexican Baja peninsula. Celtic salt is also a good alternative that is non-heated or chemically altered.
Thank you, good info.
@@kauaitulum28I tried sea salt from health store, but in food for me it taste like fish. I am allergic on seafood. I use Himalayan salt, and I am happy.
I'll allow it -Objection sustained!.... but watch your step counselor.
Heating salt will not change it in terms of mineral content, but it will kill any bugs or bacteria in it, which I imagine is why it is done.
@@manicminer4573 No organic life can live in salt. The salt is heated in the process of removing minerals for industry that sell at higher prices than regular salt. That heating and drying process drives off volatile elements in the salt such as iodine and others.
Himalayan rock salt is processed now, so the best one to buy is unprocessed Himalayan rock salt which contains the 84 minerals. Other good salts are Redmond's Real Sea salt, Maldon sea salt and Celtic sea salt
I buy moon salt. It is shipped directly from the moon mine by Door Dash.
So, thats what the aliens are mining up there.
😂🤣😂🌜👽👍
Which Moon , I always avoid salt from Juno and Ganjameed
I have just concluded my own study that indicates that if you read enough studies you will not get out of bed in the morning because it's too dangerous.
I use pink Himalayan salt because it has less pollutants than sea salt, not because of the nutrients it contains.
Well said, clear and succinct.
Dr.Clayton. I am commenting after watching only a third of your video but it see s to me that the comparison of ionized table salt to Himalayan pink is what matters.And the mineral content appears to be greater in better for the Himalayan pink salt
I suppose you mean iodized?
If you consume even a very small amount of seaweed every now and then your iodine demand is covered.
And seaweed contains way more minerals than any salt.
I opt for Laminaria Japonica because it's a tasty one.
Hiz(r)iki is probably best avoided because of sky high arsenic content.
@@DutchmanAmsterdam Plants have defense chemicals (plants toxins) to protect themselves. That's why many plants, including fruits and vegetables, cannot be eaten by humans (or other animals). Some plant toxins interfere with nutrient absorption so what ever small amount of nutritional benefit a plant has is minimized (or erased) because it's an anti nutrient.
When Oysters are consumed with nothing else, significant amounts of iron are absorbed. When black beans are added, absorption is cut to less than half.
@@DutchmanAmsterdam well, that depends on a person's eating habits. For us light eaters, we would need to eat the seaweed every day not just every now and then. I got an iodine deficiency from not having enough iodine from only consuming pink salt for years unaware it didn't contain enough iodine.
I don't think dr Clayton didn't have any consideration when presented this information as he doesn't want to be called stupid. Read the tables and listen what he said as well as watching to the end. Kids normally jump into conclusion when they see some thing that they haven't heard or contradict to their beliefs. Try to learn something.
@@moniquemonicat You can consume seaweed in the form of kelp tablets or kelp powder. Seaweed, also in this tablet form, contains way more iodine than the tiny amount added to iodized salt.
One of our great joys as a kid in the 50s was when the neighbor put out a new block of pink salt lick for the cows! We would have to be quick, before a cow would get there and we would only take a few flakes from a corner, but yum! Imagine my delight when I discovered pink salt tasted exactly like it!
I would not worry about less nutrition from table salt. Why stop using Himalayan salt then?
I've been thinking about going onto sea salt from Himalayan salt because of grit when the salt is mixed with water...Thank you you have just made my mind up to stick with the Himalayan salt and find ways of reducing the grit going into my food👍🌸
Contamination with heavy metals
I use Celtic salt from the Guerande in France. It much richer because of the location, how it's harvested and "dried" in the sun. It doesn't look attractive because it's damp & grey (clay). Very good for making Solé.
I watched another stream telling me to use Himalayan pink salt as micro plastics are higher in other salts.
I love it. Best salt I have ever used. I find it incredible that all of thesel professionals completely oppose each other regarding what's healthy, but most must agree this is a lucrative subject. Choose what you like, what tastes good to you.
Strange none of the data all of them are presenting concur. I presume it depends where the data is from & who's presenting it.
@@sArAh-dj1xw cheers, that makes sense. I used to use rock salt now on the pink Himalayan salt.
Redmond's REal Salt has no microplastics in it. That salt is from a old seabed in the west of the U.S.
@@littlehummingbird1015 Redmond's was also recommended as microplastics free salt, I'm not sure if I can get it in Oz. It was stated Redmond's is one of the best salts to buy. Cheers
I just learned, that Klodava salt from a mine in central Poland has the best composition of minerals for humans.
They are natural, from the 700 m deep mine, come in ionized form, and are easily absorbed by our bodies.
In the USA, I have used Himalayan salt myself since 1998 or earlier and I like it. It's natural.
I remember that [for example] "iron-fortified" breakfast cereal had bad, almost toxic iron because it was in a man-made form.
Does the Polish salt have high levels of zinc and manganese also, like the Persia blue salt?
You can “not” get enough amount of helpful dietary minerals from “any” type of Salt. All of us use so little amount of general usage of Salt at home that there is “not” enough minerals in any type of Salt to make it worthwhile to make any difference to help a person with health benefits. Get your dietary minerals from other dietary sources besides Salt.
~But rather instead in choosing one just pick a type of Salt you can trust with the least amount of lead or other contaminants and without micro-plastics and not over processed. For example this is one of the very best ones to get, Redmond Real Salt is unrefined sea salt mined from an ancient seabed in Utah where it is safe from modern pollutants.
I'm using Pink Himalayan salt every morning wth lemon 🍋 juice..It works for me.
Since ALL of these salts are relatively low in concentration of everything they contain, both the good AND bad stuff, then I just go with whichever salt I find that has the best taste and/or flavor enhancing properties, and which isn't too expensive to be even worth buying, as some of these "gourmet" salts can definitely be overpriced for what they actually are and do!
I use only French imported Celtic Salt. 280 minerals.
Yes, I use that too. It's moist and grey. I also use Redmond's Real Salt and occasionally kosher salt, depending on the purpose (salting water for pasta, salting food like soups and sauces while they cook, salting after cooking, etc). I never jumped on the Himalayan pink salt wagon. It always seemed trendy to me and I'm generally not into following trends. I like tried and true, well researched stuff.
280 😳
All naturally harvested sea salts have micro plastics. Whether Hawaiian, Celtic or other. If you use a minimal amount, no issue. But if you use a lot, it can cause inflamation.
@@rivermom091188 ~I do agree with you about micro-plastics in sea salt “but” this is one of the very best ones, it’s called Redmond Real Salt is unrefined sea salt mined from an ancient seabed in Utah where it’s safe from modern pollutants.
@@royjohnson465Just be wary of the heavy metals in them. Lead Safe Mom has made an article on it.
Also, I’d like to add that my 82-year old uncle and my 77-year old aunt stopped using salt in the 70s when he developed high BP. They cook and eat their foods bland. The only time they get salt in their diet is when they eat at a restaurant. They are two of the most healthiest family members I have. My maternal grandfather, my uncle’s dad, lived to be 95+ and he used salt. He was not sick before he passed, he simply was tired of living and stopped eating. My paternal grandfather lived to be just 77 but my great uncle, his nephew, lived to be 96 and he was a diabetic that managed his sugar for 40+ years. Unfortunately, he felled down and never recovered from a hip injury. I still have relatives on both sides of the family that are in there 90s, still some-what active and are healthier than I am. What’s going on?? Some use salt, some use it sparingly than others. Seems the salt intake and the kind we choose to use is to each his own, as there does not seem to be a one salt solution that fits all. We just have to figure out what works for us. However, I learned a lot from the research presented, and looking forward to trying Persia Blue..
My Mother in law almost died because she cut out all salt from her diet so if you live in a hot climate, dont follow this advice.
HBP and diabetes is from eating unsaturated vegetable oil. Cook with butter instead. No bad health issue with butter. Some people eat butter as a candy alternative. Just YT it.

beam3819, Both of my Great Great Great Grandmothers were remarried to younger men when they were 102. If I remember correctly, they lived to be 105. I'm sure they ate regular salt all their lives. Furthermore, one of them smoked a pipe. Longevity is not necessarily from what we eat or drink. It comes from genetics. I'm 76 and still take care of my own home, do our taxes and write in my free time.
My mom, 84, was diagnosis with too little salt. It is a vital mineral needed or electrical conductivity within the body. so, just as too much can be harmful. so can too little.
I got into lots of issues when I stopped salt. So now I start my day with an egg, one to three dashes of salt and olive oil.
That gets me through the whole day until dinner at ten pm. Coffee and a treat. Because I'm a pastry chefs daughter! Like the french, everything in moderation and enjoying it is key.

One reason why I stopped using pink salt is that ordinary table salt is iodized and many people have an iodine deficiency.
That's because they mostly eat processed foods that are striped from all nutrition....
ordinary table salt is chemically processed and unhealthy. not the smartest trade off
Normal table salt is one third salt,one third sand and one third crushed glass.

Just about to say that ,
plus glass is what damages the inside of the arteries , the reason i use pink salt .
Use Lugols Iodine drops, over bleached, processed, toxic poison table salt any day! Not a smart thing to do in my opinion. Celtic sea salt is full of minerals 😊
Not only does Himalayan salt have a higher mineral content, but it tastes so much better, and it doesn't swell my ankles. I think when searching for something to put on a video, this was a fail.
What about the amount of plastic pollutants in sea salt 🧂
And now, radioactive particles. Documented, and upsetting.
Try to purchase Celtic sea salt from France 😊 more expensive, yes, but definitely worth it! A little goes a long way
What about the amount of industrial chemicals in doritas corn chips or any of those ultra processed junk foods?
Remond real salt comes from the ground far from the ocean in Utah :)
@@jayjaynella4539 whats up Jay! 🙋 ✌
I always mix in a salt shaker half regular salt with iodine and the other half with the Himalayan salt. I cannot handle total Himalayan salt because it makes me go potty too much so this is what I have to do and I have noticed I took a terrific difference.😊
Not sure what going potty means but yes. I always mix my salts too. 😂😂
Thank you Dr.Clayton for enlightening all the salt lovers, on some very valuable information that most of us did not know.
I use rock salt. Brand name is Santa Maria. It states it comes from Sweden. But as we know much produce comes from different places but are packed in named country. Like the toxic dog treats from China, that states it comes from Europe but are shipped to be packed and sold for a high price hiding the place of origin.
Just sprinkle little bit of himalayan salt on your eggs and enjoy it…
Not a consumer of added salt, but the allied health information in your video made it a worthwhile endeavor.
I use ""Celtic Sea Salt"" from the sea. Has 92 minerals. After a hot days work outside I put a pinch onto my tongue and let it absorb and then drink a glass of water to allow the body to absorb the water straight into the cells.
Pink salt....88 trace minerals. Sea salt 22 minerals and 80% plastic.
Celtic salt?
LOL 😂
Thanks to china😔
@@kathleenking47 see Barbara O'Neil salt and water video. She shows why she uses Celtic sea salt. All her videos are great
The effects of refined salts vs un-refined is the most important consideration in my opinion. I saw a study that compared the effects of refined salts vs unrefined looking at the blood pressure of the people in the study. The group that used the refined salts had elevated blood pressure. The group that consumed unrefined salt had the opposite effect. That's an obvious argument for un-refined salt, both mineral and sea salt. It is up to us to choose what we want to put in our bodies. Pre-made foods usually contain large amounts of refined salts, so choosing to make food "from scratch" is important if our health counts. Medicines for lowering blood pressure are poison and not an option in my reality. Differentiating between the mineral salts does not seem that important in light of that study. Avoiding sea salt sources known for their high contents of microplastics comes as a runner-up in importance to health. Thirdly I would consider finding the best quality of the mineral salts. Bon appetite!
Thanks for this video! Have these gourmet salts been tested for heavy metals?
(#1) What was left out of this report is that Himalayan Pink Salt has up to 84 minerals and trace minerals. (#2) Celtic Sea Salt was not even mentioned which has up to 82 minerals and trace minerals. Also, what was the total number of minerals and trace minerals of all the other salts that was mentioned in this video? The data I’ve researched give a number of 102 minerals and trace minerals in the human body.
😂 The amounts of minerals you obtain from added salt are negligible, so it makes no real difference at all!
@@DutchmanAmsterdam I am far less concern with the quantities of minerals I get from salt rather than the increased variety of additional minerals and trace minerals that I get from sources that have a wide variety of several minerals and trace minerals that I would not other wise be getting. I don’t just use what little salt I use for seasoning. I monitor the type of salt for low sodium and high mineral content. I personally eat 1/2 cup of raw almonds and walnuts every day. And I get the quantity of most minerals I need from vegetable nuts and other foods I eat. We are humans, but having grown up on the farm with livestock, the addition of mineral salt to our cows was very observable. In fact the 50 lbs block of cattle salt we mounted on a post for them to lick was also pink and high in minerals. Within a week or so the cows hairy hide would go from a dull ruff appearance to a more smooth slick appearance.

It's for flavouring and to preserving.
Never realized the number of varieties of salt. Persian blue is a new one on me.
One month it is the best thing...a few months later it is not good...
Yes, that's just the way it is with diet info. Very frustrating isn't it!
😂 so true
Thanks for this deep dive.
We have stopped buying chips, processed foods, etc. when buying canned vegetables we get no salt items, most of our vegetables are fresh. As you should know our body needs so much salt. My late Mother-in law stopped using salt, she started having problems to the point that she was hospitalized. Her bloodwork should sodium deficiency, she flowed the Dr. orders on sodium intake from then on. When I’m doing the cooking, I sprinkle a little bit of salt
BTW, I drink 1/2 strength electrolyte powder mix (has 1g Potassium per 16 oz serving + 0 sodium + 200mg Chloride at normal strength...), and add a 'dash' of Himalayan salt (~50-100mg NaCl) to get the right balance in my daily diet. (also supplement with Magnesium Glycinate). If I feel like I've been having too much salt in my meals (included in the purchased/prepped food), I skip the dash of salt. (Targeting ~2000mg Sodium per day). Seems to help a lot!
that explains the photo.......
Great work Doc - thank you!
Hi and thank you for this informative video. I switched to Himelyin salt after learning there are high levels plastics in most slat products. Is there any reason why you didn't mention it in this video?
I prefer sea salt in cooking but pink salt for sprinkling on my meal as it is more subtle in flavour. Each to his own. I read in Google news that coffee was healthy and the same day but different article said that coffee was bad. I am at odds as who to believe. I don't expect to get my daily nourishment from salt. Its for flavor.
It is best to keep coffee simple and see how your body responds. There is a lot of information to digest, which can be confusing. I would keep it simple: organic coffee beans, recently roasted, even better if you do it yourself. I prefer light to medium roast and coffee press brew with reverse osmosis water, and you are good to go. :) If you are a tea drinker, organic tea is a must; otherwise, you will get unhealthy high doses of pesticides/herbicides, more than people realize.
@@sonatimeGood advice but don't forget that even the organically grown plants contain thousands of defense toxins so that you would stop consuming it. Insects die rapidly (unless adapted), and it doesn't kill us as fast as we have magnitudes more mass; it just takes way longer. Caffeine, for example, is a neurotoxin meant for insects primarily, but we enjoy the toxic effect for some reason. Same goes for spicy foods, capsaicin most notably is not enjoyable for most animals-it's a deterrent.
Thank you Dr. Dave Clayton for sharing these facts with illustrations and graphs to compare the nourishments
in the Pink Himalayan salt, and the regular salt. Most of us never know these things, unless those qualified to
make an expert analysis based on their knowledge; share their findings with us. Thanks Doctor!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this. I will now look for better salts.
❤😊 Trace minerals are also founď in seaweed, nuts, and in the peels of fruits and vegetables, remove the peels and lose valuable nutrients. Furthermore many of the nutrients are water soluble, so it is better to steam vegetables and not waterbath them to cook, unless making soup or stew.
Several years ago I was using pink salt for about three or four months and it was giving me a rash, mostly around my groin area but also in my scalp. It took me a long time to figure out that the pink salt was the culprit. Within a week after I stopped using it the rashes went away.
Why was the pink salt causing rashes?
Wow

PH salt is intended for seasoning... not rubbing.
People in that region has been using pink salt for the last 4500+ years. This adds up to empirical wisdom, which superseeds todays medicaol wisdom!!!!!
When comparing salts, why did you not consider magnesium, which I regard to be a very important mineral.
Hmmm, think I've heard the same reasoning when discussing water filtration removing too many minerals. Some folks point out that most people don't drink enough water to make a difference. Hey Doc, I think you're taking the euphemism "I'm going back to the salt mine" (work) to heart.
A tip for getting healthy PH in drinking water is to boil water for ten minutes. Also Epson salt will balance PH values witch are important to overall health.

I just read a study from spex certiprep that said the darker salts, Grey and black have the highest content of toxic metals compared to other ones they studied. Maybe look into that to make sure. Good luck!
An educated consumer the best customer. I want to try the Persia Blue. Thanks for the links.
I believe we are getting too much sodium and not enough potassium in our diets. And so I have started using a 50/50 blend of potassium chloride and sodium chloride as my table salt.
Have you checked your sodium and potassium levels in your blood before taking the decision.Normal level of sodium is: 135 -145 mEq/L and that of potassium is 3.5 -5.2 mEq/L.Safety margin of potassium is very narrow.Serious cardiac problem may arise due to high potassium level specially if kidney function is poor.
you're right this is the cause of alot of health problems because very cell needs potassium to detox at night when people eat fast food which is loaded with salt their bodies can't detox at night.
We get 6x less salt than 100 years ago. Salt is an electrolyte and you need it. Watch dr Berg

Thank you for some sense in the conversation.
Safer to get your potassium from food.
You really should have included USA based Redmond real salt from ancient Utah sea beds
Himalayan salt is 10 times better than refined table salt, but it's not the best either.
It contain a level of fluroid and lead which both we know are toxic.
If you know Marco Polo, from his travels to the himalayas he noted that the locals use to scrap any little money they had to buy salt from outside merchants, and when Marco questioned their actions when they have all the salt they need locally they all said that the pink salt made them sick.
So pick and choose wisely.
Pink salt is definitely a step in the right direction, you will feel better with it, but optimally you want natural and sun bathed sea salt, the fresher the better.
Thank you dr, Clayton..! Love to know about These salts and minerals. Subscribed.😊
Thanks for the sub!
@@drdaveclayton I quit Himalayan Pink Salt, for a different reason ! they totally lost control of their supply chain, to many fakes !
Hi I love Australian Olssons Salts , they are lovely and mineral rich especially their Grey Salt and Raw macrobiotic salts yummie!
Thanks for showing us your choices 😊
I enjoyed the depth of this video! I would add to this discussion of Heavy Metal toxicity especially from the Ocean realm ..We should also keep in mind micro plastics in our selection of sea based salts.. I really hadn’t heard of the sea salt used in this conversation but for those individuals making that selection it’s something to consider.. I would think subsurface land based salts the better options in the 21st century
Agree. So much junk is dumped into the sea. I never use sea salt
Consider now the massive dumping of nuclear waste water into the Sea of Japan off Fukushima. Add radiation to the Recommended Daily Intake mix and we have a much more serious problem to consider.
@@mj9949 yes, and now contaminated with toxic nuclear waste
I recently decided to stop using sea salt even though I have been using one that is gathered from supposedly pristine oceans off the southern coast of Australia but nano plastic particles have even been found in waters around Antarctica. No sea salt is free of them anymore. At least salt from ancient sea beds has no modern toxins!
My favorite Salt to use is Celtic Salt. It has about 87 minerals 💝⚘️💝
Thanks for sharing the information Dr. I'll reconsider using pink salt once finished.
Let me see if I get it. 1) Salt has insignificant amounts of minerals. 2) Persia Blue has more minerals than Himalayan salt, although still in insignificant amounts. 3) Therefore one should use Persia Blue, not Himalayan salt. I think I get it
Great information, I'm getting Blue Persia salt.
I’ll choose Persian Salt. I’m not going to pay for shipping, but If I happen to find it in a health food store I purchase some. For now, I’ll use my current supply of Himalayan salt.
I’m going through go with the Persian Blue because I it best for my medical issues. Thank you for providing us with your research.
I appreciate your video. I will continue to use Himalayan Sea Salt & continue using Seamoss gel as well, because that contains 92 of the necessary minerals
It’s a problem for the rich. Poor folks won’t stand a chance here, right? Most of us ate poor, but we survive somehow worth or without Persian salt.
So then, where does the pink colour come from? That has to be some trace mineral - but what, exactly?
Probably just the minerals in the caves.
The problem with other salts is that they are hard to find. Himalayan salt is great, has 30% less saltiness but has more flavor than table salt that has only 2 minerals...sodium and cholride. You have not included celtic sea salt in your study...
Hi...thank you for your informative overview of salt. I was wondering how Celtic salt measured up with your list.
The best thing you can do is just use whatever salt and then buy some potassium and magnesium and mix that in. At least for your blood pressure.
In addition to the food you eat, also the water you drink and cook with is important.
I read reviews on Amazon that say some 'Himalayan Pink Salts' from China are regular table salt with red dye added.
I found the only authentic kind to be from 'San Francisco Salt co.'
good info thx doc!!!!
Celtic salt, recommended by doctors, was not mentioned at all. Salt makes the food taste better. You shouldn’t try to get your daily intake of trace minerals from one serving of salt… I will continue to use Celtic salt
I have not seen the Celtic salt on your list. This is said to be one of the best salts in the world. Check out Dr. Barbara O'Neil. She is an advocate for it.
Thank you so much for the triple degree Dr., Dr., Dr. approach and all the information.
Great information!!
Glad it was helpful!
I use both Table Iozides salt and Pink Salt. The only time I use the table salt is when I need to add to soups, or boiling water. Only because trying to grind enough for a big pot of soup would kill my hand and eventually the grinder. lol So I just use the regular bunk. That said, it takes me well over a year to go through a little thing of table salt as I rarely make something that takes enough salt that requires more than a few twists. Also maybe it's a placebo effect, but my Pink Salt taste better to me. So if I need crack some salt for my plate, then I grind the pink.
Thank you for this info. Good to know the foods I’m already eating have what I need in minerals.
What I recently heard is that salt taken from the current ocean has microplastics in it. Himalayan, and I would assume other mined salt taken from deposits left before plastic was invented, doesn't have microplastics. When I'm done with my pink salt, I may get some blue.
Pink himalayan salt ,is Pakistani salt , the 2nd largest mine is the kerwra mines , 1 more large deposit I know in the northern areas of Pakistan, it's very interesting to know how the largest range of salt was found when and how, when Alexander the Great invaded the area which is Pakistan now , his horse while Alexander was riding in the area stopped and started licking a rock in the mountains, Alexander was surprised and investigated and found that it wasn't a rock but salt 😮. Even to this day there is a monument honouring the horse who discovered the 2nd largest deposit of pink salt .the place has also become a tourist attraction and tourists can see the beautiful caves and the salt being extracted , about 2 yrs back, because Pakistan didn't have much facilities for refinening the salt , it was sold to India at a very low price, which was then marketed by India under the name of himalayan salt , actually there's no pink salt in the himalayas.😂 Now Pakistan has the capability to refine and export this awesome product. It's a very healthy addition to any food , tastier and provides many essential minerals. My experience is that it doesn't effect
the blood pressure. Has been consumed for thousands of years. So enjoy the healthy pink salt. 😊❤
I bought lava salt when i was in Iceland. Do you know anything about lava salt? Thank you.
May be so, but I started practicing Himalayan salt, I got immediately my eye sight improved. When I was desperate for chronic pains all over my body, I found Himalayan salt benefits on TH-cam, but not yours,
😂😂😂
Hi. Joey here from Adelaide South Australia. Good info. I've been told that the BEST salt on the planet is from Utah and it's the Redmond Salt. Any thoughts please
I used them to wash my fruits, veg & also in my cooking. Thanks.
What kind of salt are you using right now? Where do you buy the salt?
Do you have a comment about Redmonds lReal salt from Utah from Jurassic seas? It's a common choice .
Redmond's is fantastic! I'm 56 and spent my whole life avoiding salt because it tastes so awful. My daughter gave me a bottle of Redmond's and I felt my entire body tingle as if it was given something it has always needed. I now buy Redmond's 25 lb bags
I was wondering if someone was going to ask this. I use Real Salt.
I am 70 years old and have always used regular table salt. That is what I will continue to use.
Very smart 👍😇
They bleach table salt . I only use it to melt ice in winter .
Very interesting video about salt. I knew that the minerals and amounts in Himalaya salt were small. I put a teaspoon in my RO water every time I pop a new bottle in the water cooler.The Persian blue was new to me and I will try some as most of us are Zinc deficient and this might be a good way to supplement as we use salt on most of our cooked food. Thanks for the heads up !
Thank you for this info! I am guilty of thinking this is the be all end all of salts lol. I'll try some or all of these suggestions.
We all start somewhere and I'm happy to hear you're taking active steps towards your health. Let me know how it goes and thanks for watching!
My dear natural salt is natural and of course more beneficial for health compare to other salts which are added with artificial minerals. I have been using Pink Salt for the last many years and it has /had helped me to reduce my blood pressure which is in normal range mostly.
