Pink Salt

To get a “beneficial” amount of “Trace Minerals” found in some salts (Himalayan, Celtic, Real Salt, etc.), you’d need to eat a lethal amount of salt.

There’s a MYTH of “Beneficial Trace Minerals” found in mined (i.e. Himalayan) or gray unprocessed (i.e. Celtic) salts. Spoilers: It’s ALL GREENWASHING!

Redmond asked me where I came up with the 167 ppb Lead result for their Real Salt product. Read my response here.

How much Lead is in salt? Which salt is safest to use for cooking? Is Himalayan salt safe?

Himalayan Pink Salt lamp: Lead-free [down to single-digit-ppm range]. Himalayan salt: safe for lamps (but not safe in food!).
