@@artbykristylalonde4165 This is why comprehensive science education is so important. "Dr." Berg is not a medical doctor he's a chiropractor. He cant really hold a candle to the Medical Doctor talking in this video in terms of who knows more about the body. Going to the Dr. Berg video: The amount of trace minerals he stated is vastly wrong. He made it up. There's much less. Even if he was telling the truth, those 84 trace minerals only make up 15% of the salt he mentioned. That means you get so little of each one it really doesn't do much. All salt can give you high blood pressure so he lied about sea salt there too. He mentions seasalt can help with "pH balancing". This is not true. Your body automatically balancs your pH at different levels for different things by itself (stomach acid vs blood vs spinal fluid etc). If it didn't, you'd just be dead. "Dr." Berg made this up.

Micro-plastics in the ocean are beyond dispute. Logically, ocean derived salt would carry some of these micro-plastics. Logically also, a dried up sea now underground would not contain micro-plastics because they were not invented at the time of formation of the dried up sea. But many salt-grinders use plastic mechanisms, and these too contribute abraded micro-plastics to our "diet". I prefer to use a mortar and pestle to grind up my salt - this is made of marble, which is mostly calcium carbonate and also of ancient origin, and does go into my diet in small amounts.

[@MsTruth2018]

Here are the differences between ordinary table salt, sea salt, and Himalayan pink salt. -- Table Salt Ordinary table salt is heavily ground, and most of its trace minerals and impurities have been removed before it is packaged for store shelves. Anti-caking agents are also added to table salt so that it flows freely and does not clump together. Table salt is about 97% pure sodium chloride; and in many places, it also contains added iodine, since iodine deficiency can cause major health problems. Because it is so finely ground, table salt has a different texture in foods compared to more coarsely-ground salts, like sea salt and Himalayan pink salt. -- Sea Salt Sea salt is what’s left over after seawater evaporates. Sea salt is mostly sodium chloride, like table salt. However, its composition varies depending on the geographic region it comes from, and how it is processed. Typically, sea salt contains trace minerals including potassium, zinc, and iron. Unfortunately, sea salt may contain trace amounts of heavy metals like lead, as well as micro-plastics, depending on its source of origin. Choosing a trusted source for sea salt can help you avoid these impurities. Sea salt, since it is more coarsely ground than table salt, has a different feel in the mouth, and a slightly different flavor. -- Himalayan Pink Salt It’s pink because of trace amounts of iron oxide. Himalayan pink salt has trace amounts of iron oxide, which is what gives it its pale pink color. It is mined in Pakistan, and also contains small amounts of calcium, potassium, and magnesium. This means that it is slightly lower in sodium than table salt. For example, table salt is typically 97% to 99.9% sodium chloride, whereas Himalayan pink salt is only about 87% sodium chloride. Himalayan pink salt is believed to be composed of the dried remnants of an ancient, primal sea, the remains of which are located deep beneath the Himalayan mountains. It is used as a substitute for table salt, and also as a meat and fish preservative. New Thinking on Salt and Hypertension Salt has long been blamed for aggravating high blood pressure. However, new research is promoting skepticism about the link between salt and hypertension, and is showing that the relationship between the two is less clear-cut than once thought. ---------------------------- A recently-concluded, 16-year study by researchers at the Boston University School of Medicine expected a direct correlation between salt consumption and blood pressure. But they found that participants who consumed less than 2,500 milligrams of salt per day had higher blood pressure than those who consumed more than that. It was the opposite of what they expected! --------------------------------------------------------- Other recent studies have found that sugar consumption may have a greater effect on blood pressure than salt consumption does. Only recently in human history have people consumed the amounts of sugar that they do today, and the high levels of sugar consumption have correlated with higher rates of hypertension, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. In short, avoiding sugar is perhaps more important than avoiding salt. Your choice of salt depends on factors like taste, convenience, cost, and your desire for the presence of minerals other than sodium.

I had left side Thyroidectomy, was on sea salt for years...results..too low Blood pressure..too low pulse..dizzy. Returned to Iodized salt..after 2 days all issues gone!

[@michaelscofield1826]

That's a result of initial low blood pressure in general though and needing more sodium, not sea salt itself.

[@Scottylockheart]

Table salt is terrible for our health!

[@jj-bp3fr]

Regular iodized salt raises blood pressure, is highly processed, its stripped off of its minerals, has added chemicals, aluminum, does not contain the iodine we need, its an isolated one they put in, its linked to raising hashimotos symptoms, heart attacks, etc. This Doc wants you to stay unhealthy, how can he say all salt is the same, NO THEYRE NOT, listen to Dr. Josh Axe instead. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q52TomOVhbmArNU or Dr. Berg, they know alot more.

[@hermesgabriel]

It's buffling for me how the most important difference is not mentioned and it's that regular salt is a refined product while Himalayan and real sea salt is not, having therefore all the minerals and elements in its natural state. Himalayan salt has moreover the great added advantage of not having micro plastics in its composition.

[@pkrent3461]

Yeah I dont trust this "Doctor"

[@leikilimaile2565]

How is it “ experts” think we can’t read /research on our own , more and more people don’t look to doctors or pharmaceutical companies anymore, they see there is no good balance

Regular salt contain little or no minerals such as magnesium and potassium which help bodily functions.

[@sarahmoon9857]

Can't stand these cynical doctors with no idea of nutrition.

[@sjoervanderploeg4340]

The only difference between taste is the electrical conductivity when dissolved, bigger chucks taste different because they dissolve slower than fine salt but it is more consecrated locally when it is dissolved. If you were to dissolve different salts in distilled water, then normalize their electrical conductivity (EC) and do a test... nobody in the world is going to taste any differences. Besides, Himalayan salt isn't even from the Himalayas... there isn't a salt mine anywhere in the Himalayas.

[@pamelabuthelezi5091]

Just started using Himalaya salt having read some of the comments will continue using it

What do you do for iodine if it makes you sick?

[@angelaharris1112]

Thank you!!

[@0786AHA]

Sea salt has micro plastics. Pink salt doesn't. That's good enough reason to only use pink salt.

[@saginaw60]

Wish you would say something about purity. Does it matter where the salt came from?

[@KSarah369]

You trivialize the importance of which salt to use but with all due respect there IS a health benefit to using Iodized salt to non-iodized salts (ie.,sea salt, kosher or Himalayan). For those with thyroid conditions who need iodine, it is most beneficial for them to use iodized salt aka table salt. Thus the salt you choose DOES MATTER just ask those people with Thyroid conditions.

[@shirasezan]

Hello and thanks what is unrefined salt ?

[@gonzaloayalaibarre]

The only conversation that the pink salt on the table starts when I'm present is a boring explanation of why it's not healthier than regular salt. I like your positive approach, tho.

[@conradofmc_ny6706]

Pink salt might to be healthier, but for sure it’s less harmful, less sodium

[@gonzaloayalaibarre]

@@conradofmc_ny6706 No, my friend, pink salt is 96-99% NaCl, good old sodium salt. Not only that, it's saltiness comes from sodium, so even if it was 50% NaCl, you would need double the amount anyways to get the same taste.

[@Kamamura2]

@@conradofmc_ny6706 If you want less sodium, use less salt. Or mix your salt with something harmless, like flour, if you need to fool yourself.

[@kufam100]

Yeah so why do people say iodized salt Will spike blood pressure and the other salts like Celtic salt and kosher salt and Himalayan salt will not?

[@Spacejockey426]

Do all salts have the same percentage of sodium? I have heard of Baja Gold sea salt, which is 70% sodium, with the other 30% being minerals and trace elements.

What about all the processing that table salt goes through. From many reports table salt does not contain much natural salt.

Of course table salt is worst how you even say that every salt is same during 98% of reg salt is sodium chloride and celtic is only 33% of sodium?

Lost me when he recommended a low sodium diet. He should keep up with the latest studies on salt, blood pressure, heart and kidney health. Maybe watch some of Doctor Ken Berry's videos on the subject. He brings the receipts!

Currently I read that sea salt is loaded with microplastics so Himalayan may be better. We need some testing to determine lead, arsenic, aluminum and other heavy metals in all salt though! Not buying this fellow's it's all one approach, cooking dr?!!!!
