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.

You’ll go insane if you start questioning every single little thing. Just enjoy your Himalayan salt.

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.

I've been using Himalayan salt for years......not quitting anytime soon!
-
"I quit using Himalayan salt ..."?! That's a bit of a clickbait, giving the impression that there's something wrong with it 😒
-
I live on top of Himalayan salt range and we all have been using Himalayan salt for ages and don't find any such thing as labeled here. Pakistan's Himalayan salt is way too good for human health and for centuries people have been loving it.

Just bought a giant tub of Himalayan salt from Costco. It’ll be a few years before I can switch salt 😂

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.

I'm using Pink Himalayan salt every morning wth lemon 🍋 juice..It works for me.
-
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.
-
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!!!!!

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.

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

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.

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.
-
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.
-
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.

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 !!!!

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.
