Is Himalayan Salt Toxic? Is It Any Better Than Regular Salt?
=======================================
I got asked the other day the following question, which I almost blew off before I did some more research about it. Thus, I wanted to share it with all of my subscribers
“Dr. Sam - I have high blood pressure and I was watching your videos about lowering it and so far, in the past 3 months I’ve been able to get off of my blood pressure drugs by using your diet changes and supplement recommendations. However, I have a question about Himalayan Salt - I read that it’s toxic? Is this true? I thought it was natural and good for you and better than regular white table salt? I’m super confused. What do you say?”
Before I start with the Himalayan salt topic, I want to point out the fact that high blood pressure is NOT caused by adding some salt to your foods. Salt isn’t even the primary cause of high blood pressure - it’s more of a hormonal imbalance and aging thing.
I know this because my dad’s side of the family has very high blood pressure and because of this, I had to learn how to lower it naturally. More about this later.
Himalayan Salt & Lead Poisoning?
In regards to Himalayan salt being toxic?... My first thought was, “no, it’s not. And anything in excess will be toxic, including water”.
However, before I reply back with a quick “no”, I decided to do some research.
And yup, I found a few articles stating that Himalayan salt is in fact, toxic. Or, it “could” be toxic due to higher levels of lead. Which is a heavy metal and you don’t want this in your body.
Just to let you know, lead is a naturally occurring element found in your body, the environment and in the foods we eat. Heck, it’s even in the air we breathe.1 But you just don’t want anything extra added if possible.
Anyway, the amount of lead in Himalayan Salt is very, very small. It’s nothing to be concerned about unless you’re having table spoons full of it daily. In which case, you’ll have other health issues.
Now, I have Himalayan Salt daily - probably half a teaspoon full.
And these days, I have more Celtic Salt instead. It is slightly healthier. The only negative is that it’s a “wet” salt. So, you can’t put it in a salt shaker because it’ll stick to the walls and it won’t come out.
So, you just take a pinch and put it on your foods.
Is It Healthier?
Now, a lot of people state how Himalayan salt is so healthy because it has about 84 trace minerals, including potassium, calcium, iodine, magnesium, iron, zinc and others. Which sounds great...
However, the reality is that there’s just very small amounts of these minerals, nothing that’ll make much of a difference in your life.2
As you can see, table salt may have more sodium, but pink Himalayan salt contains more calcium, potassium, magnesium and iron.
Again, amounts that are not worth even mentioning.
How Does It Compare To White Table Salt
And since we’re speaking about regular white table salt, what are the main differences, pros and cons as it compares to Himalayan Salt?
Honestly, the only real benefit to regular white salt is if you get the ionized version, which contains iodine. These days, many people are actually deficient in iodine, which is a shame since it has many benefits.
