Not all salt is created equal. Let's take a look at the 2 most popular from a health standpoint and compare. We also look into the dangers of refined table salt.
Briliiant analysis as always thanks! I also learned somewhere that the french grey salt is moist because of the presence of various forms of magnesium (mag being a hydrophilic element).. Your thought would be appreciated! ❤☺
Hi, The Khewra salt mine, situated in my hometown, is just one of several mines in the region, including Warchha, Corey, Joutana, and Kala Bagh. These mines house unique salt varieties that are not widely known. I'm currently involved in various salt-related projects and have recently launched a salt export company to cater to international importers. Regards.
@@maqamat-inspirational I hope they're not polluting the salt with explosives, fuel containing lead in their equipment, paint containing lead in their equipment etc.
All the salts in the Celtic sea currents are Celtic salts, maybe it's not necessary to pay extra for a brand-name. Island salts are probably cleaner than coastal salts.
For those who are worried about the contamination in the sea, I would recommend Dead Sea Salt. It's not connected to the sea of the ocean. The water comes from the Jordan River. It has 21 minerals and has Iodine.
No need for that. If it only contains 21 minerals, that's nothing. No need to worry about microplastics with a good clean pink Himalayan salt. It contains over 85 minerals including the needed iodine.
@@1Hope4All i've heard about concerns about salt mines using dynamite and our other explosives to mine with that toxic residue. Not something I've looked deeply into because I prefer sea salts due to the fact that they haven't been leached by water flow for millenniums or eons as it must be in many cases
please note at 5:23 the fact that WET sea salt has an advantage over Himalyan in the iodine content, I had known this fact for years but was glad to see it's affirmed here that once a salt is dried it will lose its iodine content.
Sea salt gathered from islands would probably be cleaner than coastal salts, brine-spring salts if you can get them should be some of the best in the world if sourced from clean sources and produced in a safe manner. any salts from mine must be free of contaminants from explosives which are probably more often than not used to mine the salt, also equipment used must be free of heavy metals in the equipment and the fuels used for the mining, many countries outside of industrialized countries still use leaded gasoline or other polluting fuels in their mining equipment.
@@carldaniels4827 definitely would be important to know the quality of the water that has leached through salt mines over the millennia or eons, also does the leaching unbalanced the mineral content or some of the salt?
important! At 5:23 the fact that sea salt has an significant advantage over Himalyan in the iodine content, I had known this fact for years but was glad to see it's affirmed here that once a salt is dried it will lose its iodine content.
In South America, there are salt mines, who's product is very similar to Pink Salt. Also, Baja Gold Sea Salt is a highly sought after salt from the Sea of Cortez It has all sorts of minerals that no other has... Great video but slightly lacking... Thanks
At 5:33, important to check on whether or not dynamite or other explosives leave contamination residue in mined salts like Himalayan salts. I think island sea salts are likely cleaner than those gathered at coastlines. Brine-spring salts, if you can get them are likely clean sources depending on the groundwater conditions.
benificial information on himalayan salt and celtic sea salt. one over looked down side towards both salts are: himalayan salt - if it wasn't mined from the khewra mines there is a good possibility that the other mines are near nuclear reactors that have contaminated the ground. whereas the celtic sea salt has a better chance of plastic pollution from the salt water to contribute to its unhealthy composition. just a thought.
Remember to add the very important and essential Potassium. Potassium to salt (sodium) is a 2:1 ratio. I mix potassium citrate with Himalayan Pink salt. RDA POTASSIUM 4700 mg RDA SODIUM
Hi, Khewra salt mine is located in my native hometown. Recently I have established a salt export company to serve interested importers worldwide. Regards
I would like to see Brine-Spring food salts be discussed. I think that the trace mineral content of those is very interesting especially related to the alkaline elements like lithium. Are there any commercial sources of those salts?
Surprised there was no mention of possible microplastic contamination in Himalayan Salt. When this hit the news a few years back, I decided to trust made in the USA Redmond Real Salt from our own ancient seabed.
Shouldn't we consider the millennia or eons of time that Himalayan another rock salts have been exposed to leaching/depletion by moisture transversing through it? Would sea salt have a more natural balance of trace elements and minerals?
at approximately 5:23 it shows there is no iodine in most Himalayan salt, (and probably any other dry salt), it's my understanding that once a salt is dry it will lose its iodine content.
7:01 That may not be necessary Celtic salt, although it has sidium, has more magnesium, and it lowered my BP from 138/87, to 125/79 I think, if youre on BP meds, it could make blood pressure TOO LOW
Dryed salts minerals are precipitaded (Himalayan or sea, same chemistry apply for both) and will be very hard to make those minerals soluble again, humid or wet sea salt are the best for mineral supply to hummans. All the rest is rethoric.
So you’re saying it would be more beneficial to consume naturally moist salt (not dried) in order for the naturally present minerals to be bioavailable? I’ve never hear this, feel free to share more and your sources. Thanks.
I use both Himalayan Crystal Salt and Andean Mountain pink salt, which looks the same and tastes similar. I would not mess with anything from the sea due to plastic and other contamination. (And that includes seaweed. I take Energy Biodine, also marketed as Illumodine, for my iodine.)
All all of the salts in the Celtic sea currents are Celtic salts, it's not necessary to pay extra for a brand-name. When I started researching sea salts back in '97 I was disgusted by the high prices charged by that brand name. Didn't they know that many revolutions were caused or instigated due to the taxation and government control of salt?
@@kathleenking47 oh that's very interesting yes magnesium should have an effect on blood pressure., If you don't mind saying how much did it lower your blood pressure? I've always "theorized" that taking sodium in the very easily digested salt form along with easily digested magnesium and potassium would be important for people who are sensitive to sodium in regards to hypertension.

This video and the comments provide a lot of useful things to consider.
Thanks!
Great video, so informative! I've always wondered the nutritional difference between sea salt and himalayan salt.
Glad it was helpful!
It’s been Celtic Sea Salt for me for 2 decades now. I wouldn’t change.
I wouldn't mess with any sea salt that comes from actual sea/ocean water due to micro-plastic and other contamination.
Why Celtic Sea Salt though?
All the salts in the Celtic sea currents are Celtic salts, maybe it's not necessary to pay extra for a brand-name. Island salts are probably cleaner than coastal salts.
For those who are worried about the contamination in the sea, I would recommend Dead Sea Salt. It's not connected to the sea of the ocean. The water comes from the Jordan River. It has 21 minerals and has Iodine.
Good call.
Dead Sea Salt crystals are fabulous for soaking - in a tub or in a foot bath.
No need for that. If it only contains 21 minerals, that's nothing. No need to worry about microplastics with a good clean pink Himalayan salt. It contains over 85 minerals including the needed iodine.

With the amount of pollutants in the oceans today I'll stick with the pink stuff.
consider weighing in the thought of nuclear reactors in the area that would contaminate the ground source. hmmmmmm?

Ground fine Himalayan Sea Salt is still pink. I use dried dulce for iodine.
what about black volcanic salt I mix and grind all three

So what salt do u use?

Micro plastics are present in all sea salts made from seawater today. Pink Himalayan salt is the best choice in my opinion.
True.

Can you talk about American pink salt (Redmond's Real Salt) vs Himalayan pink salt?
Surprised there was no mention of possible microplastic contamination in Himalayan Salt.
When this hit the news a few years back, I decided to trust made in the USA Redmond Real Salt from our own ancient seabed.
Use Kshaar lake salt
It is the healthiest one with high alkalinity natural iodine and minerals

Dr. Can I use seeweed salt as replacement of himalayan salt
Is there such a thing as natural (unrefined) potassium chloride salt?
7:01
That may not be necessary

Where can i get this unrefined see salt please help me
You should also try redmonds real salt... it's pink and comes from mining in Utah and it tastes amazing
I use both Himalayan Crystal Salt and Andean Mountain pink salt, which looks the same and tastes similar. I would not mess with anything from the sea due to plastic and other contamination. (And that includes seaweed. I take Energy Biodine, also marketed as Illumodine, for my iodine.)

any salt can have negative health effects. And if you avoid table salt, make sure you get your iodine somewhere.
For those concerned about pollution, wouldn't Island salts probably be cleaner than coastal salts?
Yep refined table salt is just like a pharmaceutical!
Yes!
💚💚💚
You lost me at millions of years

I heard Himalayan pink salt is toxic
Says who?
Himalayan salt is not from the Himalayas, it low Pakistan salt
