    Around 60 years ago I was 7 years old and our class went on a field trip to a salt mine in New Jersey. You could literally taste the salt in the air as you walked around inside the mine. At the end of the tour we were taken to a pile of salt rocks of all sizes and told to take as much as we wanted. I chose two large rocks to carry under each arm and took them home. Mom appeased me by chipping off a little each meal for me to use on my dinner. After a few weeks the new wore off and I forgot about the salt. Later mom used the salt rocks for interesting door stops.

      *Pink salt is everywhere* in salt grinders, craggy-looking lamps, sunset-hued slabs designed for cooking steak and even in “salt rooms” at spas. But is pink Himalayan salt worth all the attention? We checked out the science behind this recent health phenomenon.
      The thing:
      Pink Himalayan salt is made from rock crystals of salt that have been mined from areas close to the Himalayas, often in Pakistan. It gets its rosy hue from trace minerals in the salt, like magnesium, potassium and calcium. Pink salt is often found as smaller crystals in salt grinders, as large, glowing pink or orange chunks in pink salt lamps and in the walls of “salt chambers” at spas that promise an instant detox.
      The hype:
      People claim the salt does all kinds of things. It’s rumored to be healthier for its greater concentration of trace elements. In lamp form, companies claim that it eases symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD), increases energy and improves sleep by cleansing the air from pollutants like dust and pollen. It supposedly does this by absorbing water molecules from the air and releasing negative air ions, which are said to get rid of particles like dust that can cause respiratory problems, like allergies and asthma, and affect mood. Spas have also jumped on these claims to offer pink salt-based therapies, where people sit in rooms and breathe deeply while tiny particles of salt are dispersed into the surrounding areas, ostensibly easing respiratory conditions.
      “Marketers tout their supposed ability to release negative ions that may enhance physical and emotional health,” says Dr. Andy Weil, the founder and program director of the University of Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine. This is based on the idea that air near moving water contains high levels of negative ions, which some researchers have suggested is one reason why spending time in nature has been linked to health benefits. Whether a man-made product can produce the same effect, however, is more dubious.
      The research:
      Some data suggests that blasts of positive ions-like those from electronics or hot air- may impair mood and physical health by increasing feelings of stress and anxiety, and some studies show that negative ions in the air may do the opposite and improve people’s mood. But this is not a definitive claim-and pink salt lamps have not been shown in studies to generate negative ions, anyway. “There is no scientific support for such claims related to salt lamps,” says Weil.
      Even air purifiers that do generate negative air ions-so-called “ionizers”-are typically too small to be effective, and experts don’t recommend them. The salt lamps may also come with a major unrelated downside. In January, 80,000 pink salt lamps were recalled after it was discovered that they could shock people and catch fire.
      As for the edible salt, some argue that it tastes better than the regular white variety when used in cooking, and that may well be true for some people. “All salts vary somewhat with respect to trace mineral content and texture,” says Weil. Proponents claim that pink salt has more minerals than typical salt-but you aren’t likely to get any extra health perks from eating it, Weil says. Pink salt is nutritionally very similar to regular salt. It’s just prettier and more expensive.
      Salt therapies at spas are also not yet backed by solid evidence. “Salt therapy has been used and debated for centuries in medical practice, but it’s been more recently used as a complementary or alternative medicine practice,”
      says Dr. Lily Pien, an allergist at Cleveland Clinic. “At this time, it has not been definitely studied, and the true benefits are not well known.” One possible benefit of the therapy may not come from the salt at all, she says. Giving yourself 30-45 minutes of quiet time is a known stress reliever.
      The bottom line: If you want to add a pinch of pink salt to your food, go ahead, but you probably won’t reap any special health benefits. There’s even less evidence for basking in the glow of a pink salt lamp or indulging in a salt-based spa treatment. The most you’ll get out of this rock is eye candy, says Weil. “Some feel it offers decorative value,” he says, but don’t expect much else.

      The standard units are built around human things, 100f is a hot hot day, 0f is as cold as you’d still go outside. Metric is built around water and abstract things, 100 water boils, 0 it freezes… why would a system that removes the human factor be better? I live in Canada, I use both systems, it’s way easier to estimate in standard and then convert to metric… metric is silly in that it’s inhuman. 3, 6,9,12,60, 144 are much more human numbers then 10,100,1000.

      Especially 0°F, who says that -17°C is as cold as you'd still go outside. Some might say anything past -5°C (23F) is bad. Some might say -30 (-22F) is.
      The Metric system is just more superior in every way. It translates perfectly to mass and volume.

      Morton salt is washed in cyanide solution for cleaning. That's why you have salt related diseases because the cyanide doesn't expel out of your body but stores in fat tissue. After years of accumulating it starts to have adverse reactions in your body, they don't tell doctors this because it's money time with prescriptions for "salt related diseases", when it's actually cyanide poisoning. If you look at the back of a salt container and it says 0 nutrients, it was washed with cyanide, it's a red flag. All salt has minerals in it, so if none is there it's been stripped. Cyanide is a great cleaning agent and very cheap, that's why it's used as a cleaner, but they don't wash out all the cyanide, small amounts are left in the salt.

      @@savannah505 No... that isn’t true. It has no minerals because it is superheated and processed at 1000s of degrees. You’re confusing the addition of Iron Cyanide as an anti caking agent.... which has been stopped. It’s now Calcium silicate. But most pink Himalayan salts have anti caking agents (like ferrocyanide) and you can get a processed white salt with no anti caking agent... so you’re tripping, hahaha.
      It’s equal ends to equal ends... and the minerals in pink salt are sort of worthless. You get like 1% of your micronutrients for every 33% of your sodium (~800mg) By the time you hit your Calcium numbers you will be dying from sodium toxicity, let alone cyanide 🤣🤣🤣

      *Pink salt is everywhere* in salt grinders, craggy-looking lamps, sunset-hued slabs designed for cooking steak and even in “salt rooms” at spas. But is pink Himalayan salt worth all the attention? We checked out the science behind this recent health phenomenon.
      The thing:
      Pink Himalayan salt is made from rock crystals of salt that have been mined from areas close to the Himalayas, often in Pakistan. It gets its rosy hue from trace minerals in the salt, like magnesium, potassium and calcium. Pink salt is often found as smaller crystals in salt grinders, as large, glowing pink or orange chunks in pink salt lamps and in the walls of “salt chambers” at spas that promise an instant detox.
      The hype:
      People claim the salt does all kinds of things. It’s rumored to be healthier for its greater concentration of trace elements. In lamp form, companies claim that it eases symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD), increases energy and improves sleep by cleansing the air from pollutants like dust and pollen. It supposedly does this by absorbing water molecules from the air and releasing negative air ions, which are said to get rid of particles like dust that can cause respiratory problems, like allergies and asthma, and affect mood. Spas have also jumped on these claims to offer pink salt-based therapies, where people sit in rooms and breathe deeply while tiny particles of salt are dispersed into the surrounding areas, ostensibly easing respiratory conditions.
      “Marketers tout their supposed ability to release negative ions that may enhance physical and emotional health,” says Dr. Andy Weil, the founder and program director of the University of Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine. This is based on the idea that air near moving water contains high levels of negative ions, which some researchers have suggested is one reason why spending time in nature has been linked to health benefits. Whether a man-made product can produce the same effect, however, is more dubious.
      The research:
      Some data suggests that blasts of positive ions-like those from electronics or hot air- may impair mood and physical health by increasing feelings of stress and anxiety, and some studies show that negative ions in the air may do the opposite and improve people’s mood. But this is not a definitive claim-and pink salt lamps have not been shown in studies to generate negative ions, anyway. “There is no scientific support for such claims related to salt lamps,” says Weil.
      Even air purifiers that do generate negative air ions-so-called “ionizers”-are typically too small to be effective, and experts don’t recommend them. The salt lamps may also come with a major unrelated downside. In January, 80,000 pink salt lamps were recalled after it was discovered that they could shock people and catch fire.
      As for the edible salt, some argue that it tastes better than the regular white variety when used in cooking, and that may well be true for some people. “All salts vary somewhat with respect to trace mineral content and texture,” says Weil. Proponents claim that pink salt has more minerals than typical salt-but you aren’t likely to get any extra health perks from eating it, Weil says. Pink salt is nutritionally very similar to regular salt. It’s just prettier and more expensive.
      Salt therapies at spas are also not yet backed by solid evidence. “Salt therapy has been used and debated for centuries in medical practice, but it’s been more recently used as a complementary or alternative medicine practice,”
      says Dr. Lily Pien, an allergist at Cleveland Clinic. “At this time, it has not been definitely studied, and the true benefits are not well known.” One possible benefit of the therapy may not come from the salt at all, she says. Giving yourself 30-45 minutes of quiet time is a known stress reliever.
      The bottom line: If you want to add a pinch of pink salt to your food, go ahead, but you probably won’t reap any special health benefits. There’s even less evidence for basking in the glow of a pink salt lamp or indulging in a salt-based spa treatment. The most you’ll get out of this rock is eye candy, says Weil. “Some feel it offers decorative value,” he says, but don’t expect much else.
