Costco Kirkland Signature Himalayan pink salt in the grinder bottle has been my favorite salt I've tasted so far. I've tried the HimalaSalt brand, as well as the one from Wild Foods, and also the Himalayan Chef brand pink salt, but I continue to purchase the Kirkland. You'd think, how can there be any difference? It's all pink Himalayan salt. But having tried multiple brands, I can say that there is a discernible difference among each of them. Interesting. I recommend the Kirkland Signature (Costco's house brand). Just wanted to share.
Jennifer Myers i agree. These are the 3 salets i use and i do not use Norton because their salt does not contain iodide/iodine. Kirkland sea salt., emporia sea salt from the dead sea and Celtic which has sea vegetables incorporated. I do lije the kirkland THE best but i use 1/2 a tsp each if the other 2 because of tge iodide and sea vegies when i make my fermented veggies. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the valuable video on Salt Dr. Berg, we in Sri Lanka consumed generations after generations the sea salt but when we changed to Table salt all our problems started coming up?
Interesting. I was searching for 'which is the healthiest salt' and thank goodness I found it. But prior to this video, I came cross another doc stating that all salt was exactly the same - just salt. That video felt like a government sponsored one. Doctor Berg gets right to the nitty-gritty and answers the question perfectly - from a Keto respective. I was alternating between sea salt and iodised salt - thinking that I was benefiting from iodine. So now I'll get some Himalayan and use the iodised stuff more sparingly.
probably because the minerals balance out the sodium. for instance, himalayan salt has a decent amount of potassium which will prevent high blood pressure
There are doctors on this I can send link ... It is due to there being sand and or glass mixed in Wich scrapes your insides so your body produces cholesterol to stop yourself from bleeding out internally Wich in addition creating high blood pressure. I am sure there are other factors aswell
Hi guys, my wife complains that I eat too much salt. I love salt and put on quite a lot of sea salt on my food (meat, eggs, avocado etc.) I don't eat any carbs like seeds, rice, pasta, potato... You got it. Back to my question is it dangerous to eat too much salt? I drink around 3-4 Liters of water every day. In case you wonder. Thank you for all answers!
Why does every major health organization say that this is a myth? I mean I've checked like 10 now and I cannot find a single scientific source that confirms that sea salt is healthier than table salt. Though they do admit that there are trace minerals, even if the amounts could be so tiny, that they are almost insignificant.
Do you actually trust big pharma all there studies are rigged and funded these other studies showing the benifits are independent and reliable look up agenda 21/30 the government lies
@@niazqayyum1828 no but i trust the origin of things and theres is no artificallly made salt because it would be more expensiv than seasalt the worst that you can get is anti caking agent its all SEA salt just some from seas that dried out over the ages. Sea and Tablesalt doesnt make a difference cuz its all sea salt the difference is where its from if you use himalian u get a bonus of rust (the pink color) and mercury if you buy ur regular salt u get the regular cocktail of "minerals" yeah mercury and lead are nice minerals
SORRY THIS IS WHAT I READ FROM MAY CLINIC...Table salt is typically mined from underground salt deposits. Table salt is more heavily processed to eliminate minerals and usually contains an additive to prevent clumping. Most table salt also has added iodine, an essential nutrient that helps maintain a healthy thyroid. Sea salt and table salt have the same basic nutritional value, despite the fact that sea salt is often promoted as being healthier. Sea salt and table salt contain comparable amounts of sodium by weight. Whichever type of salt you enjoy, do so in moderation. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting sodium to less than 2,300 milligrams a day.
Alot of misinformation here. You did not address microplastics and heavy metal contamination of himalayan salt. You forget that lead and aluminium also form part of those 85 minerals.
I was in the market today to buy salt then I find on the box that see salt does not have iodine only the regular salt have iodine. So I did not buy the salt until I find more information about it. My question is can we mix the see salt or the Himalayan salt with the regular table salt to get the benefit from iodine? Please let us know. Thank you,
@@amhrandofohama No its still sea salt because it comes from the sea. You dont call salt thats in the store "store salt" because it comes from the store. You call it sea salt. The same way you would call himalayan salt , sea salt even though its stored in the mountains duh.
You said not to use sea salt in a different video because it is 90% microplastics. Makes sense as I am trying to dissolve it in water and it simply will not dissolve. So here, are you using “sea salt” generically and your choice would be Himalayan? The Celtic “sea salt” does not have microplastics so could go that way if it is indeed Celtic?
Great video, Dr Berg - As usual! It'd be great if you did the same maybe for.. " table sugar " and.. liquid cane sugar ? I don't know if my question is clear.. but yeah, I've been wondering if there's any difference between those two types of sugar.. I suppose there may be.
I was another one who avoided using salt in any form for years because I totally believed it would cause water retention and lead to high blood pressure if I had too much. Then I learned that on the ketogenic diet it is vital that you let yourself have some salt, preferably sea salt, so I've been swallowing my fears and using a bit more salt, and lo and behold I have actually been shedding some water weight. I found some Himalayan sea salt that is finely ground, so it makes it easier to grab the jar. Plus, it looks a lot prettier in there with its shades of pink than regular white table salt ever did.
Dr. Berg, I've been on Keto WOE for one week. I ordered Pink Himalayan salt, but on the bag it says that it ,"Does not supply iodide, a necessary nutrient."
Great video. But correct me if I'm wrong: salt is salt and regardless, consumption also plays a role. Though, I agree that table salt/sodium should be eliminated completely. Also, Celtic Sea Salt and Himalayan Salt both have different benefits.
Hello, dear Dr. Berg. I am almost certain that on a different video of yours, that you stated that since Sea salt does not contain iodine and that could be a factor for using table salt, no?
So i generally think you say good things but "While most of the minerals naturally found in sea salt can be acquired through other foods in the diet in more meaningful quantities, it is not the case for iodine. Iodized salt is the best, and in many settings, the only dietary source of iodine."
Thank you, that makes sense but when you put it that way I guess every salt is sea salt except the chemically created one, if that's even a thing on the market.
They're both sodium chloride and although sea salt can contain traces of other minerals the amount varies widely, although probably only very rarely as high as the claimed 15%. Table salt is also a nebulous term - if it refers to powdered salt then variously sourced sodium chloride, including from the sea, comes in that form. However salt only causes a tiny increase in blood pressure unless you have a genetic susceptibility, as some populations do. If you're not one of those people it is not going to give to dangerously high blood pressure.
The answer is there as sea salt has many other minerals that we may not need them in 99.9% of the time so why mess our chemistry while we can use the simplest salt, NaCl. Sea Salt is something we should avoid as it raises the carb/salt ratio in the body and make the body lose energy.
Hi Dr Berg! I was wondering, how do you know whether or not you are burning stored body fat vs dietary fat when in ketosis? Is there anything you can do to push your body more towards burning body fat?
Șerban sorry bro that's not the case...... You wouldn't feel hungry until 6 to 8 hours easily in ketosis and the main sign is ull feel better , energetic and more of all that good stuff throughout the day
Veronika B. your percentage of fat consumption should be around 70%. but if your total calorie intake is less than you burn, your body fat becomes the source of the difference. or at least as I understand it. so 2000 a day may be your needs. 1400 should be fat. so if you only eat 1000 calories a day (just an example) 700 from fat in foods, anything else burned should come from stored fat.
Veronika B., good question but, I don't think that there'd be such thing of a choice your body burning body fat or dietary fat when you're in Ketosis. Dietary fat, I believe, is in pipeline to be stored in the body to be body fat, right? And even if there's such a choice, it doesn't make any difference because both are fat already. The concern should rather be to burn body fat with an exercise that gets your heartbeat at least 70% percent of maximum heart rate, and taken beyond the 30-minute mark (with one hour being the eventual goal). As a rule of thumb, please be mindful that you don't start burning fat until after the 30-minute mark because your muscles will be initially using and exhausting the readily available glucose in your blood, but when this is exhausted after about 30 minutes, your metabolism system switches to using your secondary energy source: body fat found in the adipose tissue. This happens so because if you're maintaining at least 70% of your maximum heart rate, energy demands of your muscles outpace the conversion and release of glycogen storages in your liver for sure and maybe storages in your muscles' tissues and red blood cells. Another way to look at this is how you can't burn a lot of fat if your exercise doesn't get your heartbeat to at least a rate of 70% of its maximum, in which case your glycogen storages have time to be transformed into glucose and be readily available for your muscles' energy demand, but if you continue doing the exercise long enough (as in very long walks), it's possible you would still exhaust your glycogen sources and switch to Ketosis. I hope my explanations make sense.
If you have information please give it to the public at least in the comments section. People who are asking about the benefits of the trace minerals in the sea salt, need your attention. Please write a line or two about how significant the trace minerals are.
Himalayan salt(pink) is a rock salt and isnt sea salt... Himalayan salt is mostly used for medicinal preparations... sea salt is advisable for day to day usage....
Dr. can you do a video covering pre workouts and supplements like animal stak? Very curious of your thoughts on them. Thanks and I appreciate all your videos. Between you and Dave Ramsey I have some pretty good youtube mentors.
Rather than shipping Himalayan salt from halfway around the planet, there's a salt out of Utah that says it's from a millions of years old deposit too. Redmond "Real Salt" is not heat processed, not refined, lightly pink, and has an analysis of over 30 trace minerals. They even say their operation is solar powered! So if you want to act "local"... I can get it at my grocery chain, but it's also on amazon.
I don't agree, about high blood pressure. Sodium is sodium. Himalayan, Sea or table. The only way I felt better was when I cut sodium intake by 90% (any kind of sodium). Sodium absorbs water, increasing blood volume, which increases the heart rate because it has to pump more blood. Himalayan and sea are still sodium. Maybe has more minerals, but is still sodium.
