      If you eat a lot of gluten you become sensitive to it and get rashes. Leading to celiac Disease So limiting gluten if you know you eat a lot of it would be best.

      Well pink Himalayan salt is not iodized and contains other micro nutrients table salt may not

    • @michelleassous
      @michelleassous 5 років тому +3

      lgal56 ““Himalayan salt does contain trace amounts of minerals like potassium, magnesium, iron, and more, but the amounts are insignificant and afford no additional health benefits,” says Jeff McGrath, a clinical dietitian at Westchester Medical Center, the university hospital of New York Medical College. Ironically, Himalayan pink salt also contains barely detectable amounts of elements that would be harmful if isolated and consumed in large doses, such as arsenic and uranium,” McGrath says.

    • @lgal56
      @lgal56 5 років тому +2

      @@michelleassous I totally agree with that but claiming its identical to table salt is simply incorrect

    • @rubyblue153
      @rubyblue153 4 роки тому

      From my perspective, I think iodised table salt is better for you than sea salt. Sea salt may have some benefits such as minerals but these are in trace amounts that you can already gain from eating other foods such as bananas (potassium), spinach (iron), majority of foods (magnesium) and dairy products (calcium). Don't forget that when you use salt you only use a little anyways else the food is salty which is barely enough intake of these minerals compared to eating actual food. On the other hand table salt has iodine added which prevents goitre and thyroid problems which are major health problems in regions of the world where a balanced diet is hard to maintain. Similarly they both have about the same amounts of sodium so there's really no difference; just use it in moderation. Price wise table salt is alot cheaper than sea salt (where I live table salt is more common and cheaper at around less than US $0,50 for 500g whilst sea salt ranges from $1 to $4 for 250g) . But I guess you just have to research and decide for yourself on which salt is best for you depending on your health and income.
