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 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 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.
I bet you've heard of different chunks of the mined salt having different properties or colors. Is there some higher priced saught after stuff they save for themselves? (Which we could potentially buy? :)
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 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?
@@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.
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!
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.
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.
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
Himayalan pink salt is still available unprocessed and in large rock form in pakistan. We Pakistanis consume it in raw form...we buy a rock and grind it ourselves.
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 am a TCM Iranian doctor and with All due respect İ should say that Persian Blue salt is Not a substitute for Himalayan salt as Blue salt is good for people with High blood pressure and it's domain of property is much different than Himalayan salt. İ have used Himalayan salt and continue to do so. We have Many different salts in Iran and one of them is called Jahrom salt which is Solid and very transparent like Glass and I use it for cooking purposes
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..

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.
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.
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 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.
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..
i have just eliminated an abscess in my mouth by gargling and flushing with himalayan salt and cleaning my teeth with baking powder. By day 3 my abscess burst and started feeling better, by day 7 (today) my jaw only feels slightly bruised and DEFFINITLY nearly healed!!! In the past I would of had toxic strong prescript off dentist followed by tooth extraction and a hefty bill for the trauma, loss and toxicity. To eliminate my abscess has cost me around 50p/35cent hope this helps others🌳🌺
That is so good to hear. I sometimes clean my teeth with baking soda and salt. Just wondered did you mean baking soda instead of baking powder? Thanks for sharing😊
@@lindabarnett4353 Hiya Linda, I just saw your message. Yes it is baking soda not powder. Sorry for the wrong info, I've just double checked. My abscess hasn't come back but i'm still brushing with it twice a day and swilling my mouth with salt every few days just incase. Hope this helps if needed in the future 🙂
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.
@@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 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. No guilt. I've lost lots of weight slowly and kept it off even though I don't walk four miles daily since covid. And there's a puma in the trees here, so no long walks anymore. It followed me twice!!! And it ripped my screen door. And it attacked my wall hunting for food. It shook the whole house. He's a big boy now seven years or more.too many new housing devs.
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.
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.
@@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.
@@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.
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.
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!
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.

hello Dave I've been using Flower of salt hand harvested from Nin Croatia which has been well known as the "caviar among salts" harvested from the field of Nin . Croatia is a product of exceptional quality and unique gourmet flavor. It is a gift of the Adriatic Sea the sun and wind which blows down the slopes of mountain Velebit. The Flower of Salt is produced in a traditional way at one of the few remaining salt works in the world which date back to Roman times. It can only be uptrained in ideal weather conditions. The Flower of Salt is gathered manually after appearing at the sea surface as thin layer of salt flakes which resemble flower petals Its from organic farming. I paid for this salt 16 euros for 100 gr. (3.53 oz).
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!
The human body cannot process inorganic minerals, only plants can do that. The plants draw minerals from the soil or rocks and in the process, adds a carbon molecule to the minerals. This allows the human body to process the minerals without toxicity. Inorganic minerals are toxic to the human body. The human body needs sodium, but organic sodium is not the same thing as sodium chloride. Organic sodium will not raise your blood pressure and it will not burn. If you put sodium chloride in your eye, it will burn. If you put it on a cut, it will burn. Sodium chloride can set the body up for cancer. Dr. Max Gerson discovered many years ago, that all his cancer patients had too much sodium chloride in their tissues. If you want organic trace minerals, I suggest using fulvic acid. Sodium chloride reacts like sugar in that it promotes inflammation in the body and that is always coupled with pain.
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.
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.
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!
Thank you for the information. I know that Celtic sea salt and Himalayan salt (the two salts I use) contain between 73 and 84 trace minerals. I notice that in the information that you shared, only 11 trace minerals were listed. Would you be able to show us the entire mineral composition of the salts you mentioned? 🙏
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.
Sea salt is now full of micro plastics. Redmond's salt from USA is the best mined deep from an old sea bed the Sundance sea which existed roughly 200 to 145 million years ago. The salt was trapped under 5,000 feet of volcanic ash and bentonite clay, which protected it from modern pollutants
Life has become so confusing,so complicated that it is becoming difficult to survive.Because today also when we see poor or low income groups people they are happily living with whatever they have.Because they don't have extra money for medicine or doctor,so they don't fall sick😂But the middle class of this country they are trapped into this Pharma blunder,God please save us from these marketier.
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.
I don't use pink salt for the trace minerals, I use it because sea salt is contaminated by various man-made toxins. I also don't use regular store bought table salt because of the de-caking agents in them. I also prefer the taste of pink salt.
Sea salt is best because it does not have to be separated from rock. Traditional mined salt always ends up with attached microscopic rock particles that do not dissolve in the body. Those particles tear us up inside, and the body repairs these tears with cholesterol. The more this happens, the more the arteries get clogged. This is the rarely shared connection in the classic correlative diagnosis between sodium and high cholesterol levels. This does not happen with sea salt.
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.'
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 😊
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
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.
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.😊
(#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.
@@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.
@@clydecovington3972 Add 1 Brazil nut daily, each one of these contains 70% of our daily requirements of selenium, most people are deficient of this trace mineral. They always are organic, and harvested right in the Amazon jungle. Said trees will not thrive on farms.
If we stopped eating and drinking things that could be bad for us, we'd die of dehydration before starvation did that job. Everything has the possibility of having something wrong with it. The air we breathe has chemicals. The soil where we grow produce has chemicals. No telling what has died and decomposed in the ground. That's many many years of this happening. We just pray over our food, eat and enjoy. Stress is worse for your body than a double bacon cheeseburger combo with a large chocolate shake.
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 !
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.
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.
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?
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.
There is also the exquisite Kampot Salt Flower/Fleur De Sel, crafted using the same traditional harvesting method as the Celtic Salt. Recognized with a Protected Geographical Indication by the World Trade Organization. This salt is renowned for its nutritional value, delightful crunch, and distinctive flavor profile, accented by a hint of sweetness.
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!
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!
❤😊 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.
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
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'd love to see Persian BLUE salt. Another unrelated mention, SEA salts are touted as "healthy" but I heard some of the sea salts have microplastics/nanofibres
I think we need to cook at home so we can control what we use in the cooking process. Bad cheap seed oils, instead of olive oil, avocado oil, or other good oils, and organic meats, fruits, and vegetables, would improve our health dramatically. They cost more, but maybe we should give up some other things and focus on better health.
After my stroke 2012, I put away all the white salt and start using the Himalayan salt.. in the dish and food. I find it good because I felt better in health compare to last time become so restless and painful in the body. Much energetic at the age of 56 this year 2023. Thank god. I change my lifestyle also being active by walking everyday and start eat healthy food. No more process food or fast food and put many vegetables and fruits, nuts for daily food. Eat the pure food by cooking your own. 😊
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.
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.
Iodized American table salt is a synthetic chemical of iodine added and not real iodine. Use kosher salt. It’s not heated and therefore has natural minerals.
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.
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 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.

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
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
Are they better than Icelandic flake salt which is said to have the most electrolyte content and which contains no microplastics?

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..

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.
Did you even watch the video before leaving that comment?
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..

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.
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.
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.
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.
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!

The Flower of Salt is produced in a traditional way at one of the few remaining salt works in the world which date back to Roman times. It can only be uptrained in ideal weather conditions. The Flower of Salt is gathered manually after appearing at the sea surface as thin layer of salt flakes which resemble flower petals Its from organic farming. I paid for this salt 16 euros for 100 gr. (3.53 oz).
@@satkoibrahimovic2355 thanks for the good information..now how do I get it sir.
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!
The human body cannot process inorganic minerals, only plants can do that. The plants draw minerals from the soil or rocks and in the process, adds a carbon molecule to the minerals. This allows the human body to process the minerals without toxicity. Inorganic minerals are toxic to the human body. The human body needs sodium, but organic sodium is not the same thing as sodium chloride. Organic sodium will not raise your blood pressure and it will not burn. If you put sodium chloride in your eye, it will burn. If you put it on a cut, it will burn. Sodium chloride can set the body up for cancer.
Dr. Max Gerson discovered many years ago, that all his cancer patients had too much sodium chloride in their tissues.
If you want organic trace minerals, I suggest using fulvic acid.
Sodium chloride reacts like sugar in that it promotes inflammation in the body and that is always coupled with pain.
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.
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.
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 the information. I know that Celtic sea salt and Himalayan salt (the two salts I use) contain between 73 and 84 trace minerals. I notice that in the information that you shared, only 11 trace minerals were listed. Would you be able to show us the entire mineral composition of the salts you mentioned? 🙏
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?
But i just love the taste of it. I think it has certain elements like iron, magnesium, calcium that are essential for my body.
Sea salt is now full of micro plastics. Redmond's salt from USA is the best mined deep from an old sea bed the Sundance sea which existed roughly 200 to 145 million years ago. The salt was trapped under 5,000 feet of volcanic ash and bentonite clay, which protected it from modern pollutants
I was hoping as the title says to learn more about the heavy metals. Maybe a followup more focused video on that subject 🙏🏻
My favorite Salt to use is Celtic Salt. It has about 87 minerals 💝⚘️💝
Can you tell me what you think of Celtic salt which actually has the most minerals.
Life has become so confusing,so complicated that it is becoming difficult to survive.Because today also when we see poor or low income groups people they are happily living with whatever they have.Because they don't have extra money for medicine or doctor,so they don't fall sick😂But the middle class of this country they are trapped into this Pharma blunder,God please save us from these marketier.
I've converted back to iodized table salt, gotta have that iodine!
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.
I don't use pink salt for the trace minerals, I use it because sea salt is contaminated by various man-made toxins. I also don't use regular store bought table salt because of the de-caking agents in them. I also prefer the taste of pink salt.
Sea salt is best because it does not have to be separated from rock. Traditional mined salt always ends up with attached microscopic rock particles that do not dissolve in the body. Those particles tear us up inside, and the body repairs these tears with cholesterol. The more this happens, the more the arteries get clogged. This is the rarely shared connection in the classic correlative diagnosis between sodium and high cholesterol levels. This does not happen with sea salt.

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.

It's for flavouring and to preserving.
If we stopped eating and drinking things that could be bad for us, we'd die of dehydration before starvation did that job.
Everything has the possibility of having something wrong with it.

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 for highlighting the facts.

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.
@@beam3819 which not witch ... Epsom salt
There is also the exquisite Kampot Salt Flower/Fleur De Sel, crafted using the same traditional harvesting method as the Celtic Salt. Recognized with a Protected Geographical Indication by the World Trade Organization. This salt is renowned for its nutritional value, delightful crunch, and distinctive flavor profile, accented by a hint of sweetness.
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.......
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!
The Atlantic Grey I’ve been using since 2018. I’m anemic and a vegetarian, it’s helped so much with nutrition values. ❤💯💯
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!
Thank you, this is a really good video with good data.
❤😊 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.
But the pesticides on the skin of the fruit are absorbed and cannot be washed. Perhaps use Vinager and water to soak then. Perhaps that way
Thanks for this video! Have these gourmet salts been tested for heavy metals?
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.
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
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'd love to see Persian BLUE salt. Another unrelated mention, SEA salts are touted as "healthy" but I heard some of the sea salts have microplastics/nanofibres
I think we need to cook at home so we can control what we use in the cooking process. Bad cheap seed oils, instead of olive oil, avocado oil, or other good oils, and organic meats, fruits, and vegetables, would improve our health dramatically. They cost more, but maybe we should give up some other things and focus on better health.
Agreed, but I regard animal fats to be much healthier than any plant fats. I think you should give that a deeper look.
After my stroke 2012, I put away all the white salt and start using the Himalayan salt.. in the dish and food. I find it good because I felt better in health compare to last time become so restless and painful in the body. Much energetic at the age of 56 this year 2023. Thank god. I change my lifestyle also being active by walking everyday and start eat healthy food. No more process food or fast food and put many vegetables and fruits, nuts for daily food. Eat the pure food by cooking your own. 😊
Thank you Dr.Clayton for enlightening all the salt lovers, on some very valuable information that most of us did not know.
Thanks for this deep dive.
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.
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.
Never realized the number of varieties of salt. Persian blue is a new one on me.
Iodized American table salt is a synthetic chemical of iodine added and not real iodine. Use kosher salt. It’s not heated and therefore has natural minerals.
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.
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 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 .
Thanks for your information on Persian blue salt and others.
Great information, I'm getting Blue Persia salt.
Based on what your research, I’m going to try Persia Blue, as I have Osteoporosis.
