Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

It turns out that I, like many people, were convinced that pink Himalayan salt was this incredible salt I should be eating instead of any other salt. Recent conclusion: silliness, not science. In a recent article I read, "There is no evidence that pink Himalayan sea salt is healthier than regular table salt; if anything, there is reason to suspect it might be less healthy. It’s not “pure;” it’s full of contaminants. Its popularity is a triumph of marketing over science and common sense." Compare the trace mineral and moisture content of sea salts* Celtic Sea Salt Brand Makai Pure ………….. 23.10% Celtic Sea Salt® Brand Light Grey Celtic®… 17.50% Himalayan and other leading salt brands…….4.12%, 3.96%, and 1.68% *Results of third-party laboratory analysis, 2014 I believe sea salt from the Dead Sea is one of the best sources for natural salt. You can get it for relatively cheap at green grocers, and I chose to try this brand as my first grey salt because the name is trustworthy, the reviews are great, the product is quality, and was happy that the salt turned out to crunchy and delicious. I'm happy with the decision to move away from Himalayan, and next time I'll try their Makai as I didn't know it had a higher relative trace mineral content than this one.
