Isn't there a slight worry that since it's not refined it might contain other harmful stuff? I admit I only read this once in passing and didn't investigate further.
Also, does the Himalayan salt contain iodine? Because otherwise you may soon get a iodine deficiency. The reason iodine is added in table salt in the first place is because most people would be deficient otherwise.
- ceejayoz 8y agoEven before iodized salt, goiters were location dependent. The modern diet likely contains enough iodine from other sources - seafood, dairy, eggs, processed foods - that non-iodized table salt isn't likely to matter much. https://www.health.harvard.edu/heart-health/cut-salt-it-wont-affect-your-iodine-intake https://www.health.harvard.edu/heart-health/cut-salt-it-wont...
- ksenzee 8y agoTrue - but the modern diet probably also contains enough microplastics from other sources that avoiding them in salt isn't likely to matter much. :(
- soperj 8y agoI've used Himalayan salt for decades, no iodine deficiency. Unless you only eat at home, and no processed foods, you're likely getting plenty of iodine elsewhere.
