For anyone reading, find out where the salt comes from, if it's from evaporated sea water it has micro-plastics 100%, if it's cave salt, or from a place like himalayan salt then it's fine.
Hi Moi:) Dollar Tree has the same 1 pound Himalayan Pink Salt bags with all the same writings and non GMO stamps etc, same bags but 3 dollars cheaper per bag at dollar tree than Wal-Mart and whole food etc!!!
It's pretty low and there's many other sources for micro plastics, such as all fish, or plastic bottles. Also you can filter seawater to remove particulates.
@@sesshonuyasha right taking out the good and putting in bad I know they have been doing that for awhile all the vitamins everything they got this down to a science its sick.
It’s extreme, look at the acreage devoted to grain oil protection they pump into the cows and pigs etc that then get eaten by humans. Effectively pumping people full of inflammatory pesticide and herbicide laden GMO oils with a side of high fructose corn syrup and some artificial flavors and preservatives and people wonder why the health care industry is over run with sick people. Much of this stuff should be banned like it is in Europe.
My mom goes to a herbalist and he told her years ago to use Celtic salt. Even mentioned how he sometimes licks a bit for the minerals. Since it was something new to us we never used it. Thank you for the info! Things are going to change in our pantry
40 or 50 years ago when Weight Watchers was popular I always thought that there should be a chain of Weight Watchers restaurants so you could go out to eat but still keep your weight in check. Never happened of course!
I recently just read an article that said sea salt has micro bits of plastic in it from our polluting the oceans. To use hymalain salt or sea salt from an ancient dried sea bed.
I just bought that Celtic salt as I watched Dr,Berg's video about plastic in many sea salt products due to water pollution. Now as it got Bobby approved, I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase because Bobby is where I learned all about ingredients. Why isn't there a Bobby approved badge? Is there a website for Bobby approved products?
Why don't you think for yourself instead of hanging on every word of Dr. Berg of wondering if it's "Bobby approved"? The obvious answer here between the two, is that Dr. Berg is more correct about the overall health value of Celtic salt. Just be ause Bobby has it "approved" does NOT mean it doesn't have detrimental effects from microplastics. That's not at all something he even took into account or addressed in this video. However, while it would probably be smart to stay away from Celtic salt when you have alternatives like Himalayan salt, the minor amount of plastic in you're Celtic salt is not something worth throwing it out and not using it when you already have it. So yes. Use it. But also, think for yourself. Dr. Berg is more correct on this one. Bobby is also right that Celtic is better then refined salt. But he just didn't factor in the microplastics issue.
She’s the one that people want to see… look at any of Bobby’s videos and how many views he’s had usually in the thousands compare to roses videos in the millions.. she’s the one bringing in the 🤑
We have been using the Redman Real Salt brand for years now. It is always excellent quality and I have never noticed any salt crunching in my teeth. Thank you for your videos.
You're killing me! New subscriber. Ever since I started watching your videos. Everything I buy & eat is killing me. Had no idea there are better alternatives. Thank you!
I admit that Ive started watching your channel from your Rosti videos on FB. But I love all your fun info, Dessi awesome recipes, and Art’s zippy wit. I have always used Morton salt, but this makes so much sense. I ordered the Celtic salt, if nothing else, so I can pinch salt like Rosti. I dont even like cooking, but I have learned so much about making smarter food choices from your fun videos. Stay cool, Bobby. Thanks for all you do, especially as your family is busy preparing for the move.
Gourmet salts may, or in some cases do, contain essential minerals, but they're in tiny amounts. To even get close to the recommended daily intake for those minerals you'd need to eat enormous amounts of salt, which isn't good for you or even realistic.
With all of the essential trace minerals that are stripped out of the soil and almost everything we eat, I'll take ALL of the minerals I can get! That's basically the equivalent of saying- Well I guess I won't go for a walk today because I don't see any huge weight loss from it! Just because you can't see instant results doesn't mean you wouldn't benefit from it.
The body craves homeostasis/balance. This is why when a man goes on a Testosterone replacement therapy by getting weekly injections his ESTROGEN can skyrocket (injecting 3-4 times a week at lower doses tends to fix this as you get tiny little spikes 4 times a week instead of a huge one every week followed by a massive drop at the end of the week). The body will convert any extra Testosterone that isn't immediately in need of use into Estrogen to keep a specific hormonal balance. Same with neurotransmitters, mental illness if caused by the body losing its ability to balance these hormone precursors within the body. EVERYTHING in the body is about balance, likewise, having proper electrolyte and mineral balance is CRUCIAL for proper heart function. If you get panic attacks or fast pounding heartrate etc.. go drink some coconut water and eat a banana or two; guarantee it'll be gone in a few hours. Just that miniscule ~30% daily value fluctuation will completely erase significant symptoms like tachycardia/palpitations etc.. As @iMiss Mr.Kitty said, I'll take EVERY bit of mineral balance change i can get. It DOES make a difference, especially if taken over the course of long periods.
@@IMissMrKitty Here's the point: If the benefit you're seeking is the one this video claims to address (preventing or lowering blood pressure) you will get 0% closer to that goal by switching to an unrefined salt. Instead, you need to cut your total salt intake-- and add nutrient rich foods or supplements to your diet. The RDA for the minerals that help balance sodium are: 1000+ mg calcium, 500-1000 mg magnesium, and 4700 mg potassium daily. How much of these can you get from an unrefined salt? One teaspoon (the total amount of salt you should have in a day) of unrefined "mineral rich" Redmond salt provides 30 mg of calcium (as opposed to the 9 mg. in Morton iodized table salt) which is the equivalent to the amount in 1-1/2 *teaspoons* of ricotta cheese. It also provides 7 mg of magnesium (amount in 1/2 *teaspoon* of almond butter) and 6 mg potassium (about 1/70 of a banana.) It makes LESS sense to eat unrefined salt to lower blood pressure than it does to eat fortified salt to get your daily iodine. But the Celtic salt sure is delicious, no doubt about that!
Hi Bobby, firstly as a long time vegetarian, with a degree in chemistry, you have taken my knowledge of ingredients and reading labels to a new level! I have watched all your videos and I’m a big fan. One comment and feedback is that other than specific vids relating to salt and hypertension you focus on sugar and others but ignore daily salt intake relating to products. FDA recommends a max of 2,500 mg per day and I’ve seen for 65 and older 1,500 mg. Can you also focus and comment on this in the same way as you do for sugar content? Thanks, Kenn Mackenzie ( San Jose, CA)
I want to say thank you. I never thought there could be a better salt. I just used what my mom used, not thinking it could contribute to my wifes high blood pressure. I got the Celtic and it's wonderful.
I can’t believe you just posted this!!! I was talking to my friend about this last night. I was going to search your channel on which salt. You are amazing. Love your immunity tea!
Same! My mom literally just asked me 20 minutes ago to research which salts are the best, specifically for her thyroid. And then I saw this video posted! Do you know which one is best to help with this?
Yes Indian here himalayan salt is good what you guys need to try is black salt! It is a frikin game changer especially when you add it kefir/yogurt/small quantity side sauces! Will frikin blow your mind. Yes you need to first ignore the lil bit of smell sometimes if you get the powdered ones from indian stores. pure sea.salt but very difficult to find in US. Celtic is super good!
This is untrue. All salts will raise blood pressure. This type of misinformation is actually surprisingly dangerous. He should edit or add a disclaimer to his video because it will negatively effect people who have heart problems and high blood pressure if they follow his advice.
If you are on a low sodium diet - this means all salt. Salt is salt. It doesn't matter which type you use. I don't use salt. I have heart failure. Salt makes me retain fluid. It doesn't matter which salt, it will still make me retain fluid.
You are 100% correct! For what it's worth, I would also ignore his advice on saturated fats, I don't care if it's from a coconut, or a pig, all saturated fats will raise your LDL, which is something you absolutely don't want! Follow your doctor's advice and be healthy! - Jay MD
@@Jay-xw6hr 😅 Your advice is so far from the truth it's ridiculous! You go on trusting the FDA and all of the big companies with an agenda, but don't spread your bullshit advice to others.
@@IMissMrKitty I think I’ll take my 14+ years of medical / dietary education, along with 20 years of experience, over a guy with a degree in finance who has zero formal education in either of these disciplines. This has nothing to do with the FDA, or big business (except the those selling “gourmet” salts). It has everything to do with basic medical science and personal experience treating hundreds of hypertensive patients each year. Hypertension and related conditions, (stroke, heart attack and now increased risk for negative covid-19 outcomes) kills thousands of people each year. Not everything is some big conspiracy. If you choose to ignore sound medical advice, that’s on you.
Check out Dr. James DiNicolantonio on Instagtam for all things salt-related. He talks about how salt is essential to health, despite conventional wisdom suggesting it's at the root of hypertension (it's not). He is a research scientist who cites the relevant studies and does fantastic work.
@@roachums123 Overall current research suggest that large amounts of salt in the diet, can raise your blood pressure which can contribute to stokes. Sodium is essential to the body as it aids muscle function, nutrient absorption, homeostasis of electrolytes - plasma, cell and nerve function. Chlorine help maintain pH balance...While I agree with what you are saying, the recommendation of one scientist that only recommends studies that he conducts, not overall studies should be viewed with high scepticism.
Blood pressure claims! Bobby, I have high blood pressure, and unfortunately I love salt. Your comment that non-processed salt will not raise your blood pressure and processed salt will raise your blood pressure was of great interest. Both non-processed and processed salt contains NaCl, which is salt, and NaCl is supposed to be the high blood pressure culprit. How can non-processed salt, which contains NaCl not raise your blood pressure? I cannot find anything online supporting your claims. Do you have anything you can reference that supports the blood pressure claims? I'm very interested for obvious heath reasons. Thanks
I have been a nurse for thirty years. Mayo Clinic has a reputable website you can trust. This is from their website 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. Too much salt (sodium) in your diet. Too much sodium in your diet can cause your body to retain fluid, which increases blood pressure.
Because of the anti-caking ingredient added to salt, which can damage our arteries and cause hardening of the arteries, thus increasing the blood pressure.
While unrefined salt is a little better than table salt, it’s not by much. If you’re someone who has high blood pressure or other underlying health issues, you should be cutting back your intake of sodium regardless of whether it’s table salt or Himalayan pink salt. I personally buy the unrefined salt only because it tastes better. I’ve said this time and time again, Bobby seriously needs to stop giving advice on health and nutrition. Telling people unrefined salt won’t spike your blood pressure is horribly misleading, especially if you’re someone who shouldn’t be consuming lots of sodium.
Salt isn't bad for you. I had high blood pressure and went on a keto diet and it went down and then went carnivore and I salt my steaks vigorously and my blood pressure is 110/70 now on average. Carbs is the issue. Not salt.
I sooo agree. I looked on the Mayo Clinic And Cleveland Clinic website. Along with my Internist Dr. "SALT IS SALT" unrefined VS natural sea salt is chloride but more minerals are present.
Yeah if u can afford it, he was just learning about the other salts as he said in the last video he was going to start using it. Also maybe the reason he made a new video 🤔
My dietician recommended I stick to 140mg of sodium per meal . 1/4 tsp of the Celtic Salt is 450mg of sodium. I've gone completely salt-free meaning the only sodium I'm getting is what ever comes from non processed foods. I'm also eating only 45g of carbs each meal. My blood pressure has gone down from the high's 160's/100's to 130's/80's in just one week. I feel a big difference on this 7th day -my swelling on my face has gone down, I feel lighter and my eyesight is much clearer, but ohh, I did notice my feet and toes cramping liek charlie horses, not sure what that is about. This has happened in only 7 days, yes, I'm so happy BUT the down side is that I'm not enjoying food lol. I need to learn how to cook and get used to this lifestyle. I wish this salt had no sodium at all. :-(
Bought some black Himalayan sea salt and was surprised by the smell and taste. It smells like eggs! High in sulphur. Wonder how healthy it is and how many minerals are in it. We love it!
I love the products I've purchased thru Thrive Market, thanks to you. And, I've enjoyed both the Redmond's and Celtic salts I've tried. Despite the larger crystals on Redmond's, I prefer it over other salts, but use a variety, in my cooking.
Rock Salt hindi name(Sendha Namak) is the best salt for body it doesn't contain any chemical or any other mixture it's is basically the purest form of salt. In india many peoples use this salt I would like to suggest everyone to use this incredible salt which is very good for health. By the way I am new one in your channel I started to watch your channel for past one month but I like your videos and content!! Stay fit and healthy and Happy New year from my side.
On nooooo, I adore applewood smoked sea salt, volcano salt, cherrywood smoked sea salt, I only buy those for intense seasoning but just for making rice etc I use the Pakistani salt, i also like salt blocks for cooking.
Are there studies showing that these “better” salts don’t elevate blood pressure? Because I think conventional medical wisdom is that, when it comes to blood pressure, salt is salt.
Have you seen Oryx Desert Salt on shelf in Whole Foods? It is from an underground salt lake in the Kalahari Desert in Southern Africa, from a remote, pristine uninhabitable area. It is a renewable sustainable source, and is free from any pollution or contamination. Still contains vital trace elements and minerals and is not processed or refined. Naturally organic and delicious. Oryx Desert Salt grinders have a ceramic mechanism so is 20x and more refillable and doesn't grind plastic into your food.
Dollar Tree 1 Dollar!! The 1 pound packs exact same printing as whole foods and Wal-Mart etc!!! Be careful tho cuz some stuff like cereal etc is in smaller boxes so have to figure the per ounce price!!
Bobby, I’m not aware of any studies that show unrefined salt will not raise your blood pressure as compared to refined salt. You should provide more evidence of your claims. I’m all for unrefined salt, but I think your claims are misleading.
@@ddurbin1986 I know so many people that eat tons of foods that is high as hell in salt and their blood pressure is totally normal. There’s a lot of other factors.....plus isn’t Celtic sea salt expensive? Not everyone has that kind of money
They're not misleading, they're just plain wrong! When are you people going to figure out that Bobby is not a nutritional expert, he just parrots what he reads on various web sites, often without regard to the vast body of scientific evidence that points in the opposite direction! Bobby is all about marketing and making money.
When I switched from Morton’s salt to Himalayan salt, I had to cut out my diuretics and my kidneys function so much better. Also dropped my other two BP medication‘s because now I’m no longer getting all the junk salt from processed foods.
Anytime you isolate a mineral it doesn’t have what it needs to process correctly and can cause problems because it will rob from your body the other nutrients it needs to process and salt needs to have a certain balance with potassium. table salt is isolated sodium chloride stripped of potassium and other minerals. That’s why we need to use mineral salt blends like Himalayan sea salt.
Good vid on salt review. Celtic and Redmond are good salts for more reasons than just flavor. They have lower microplastic content than other salts. If fact it would be great idea to dive into microplastics and heavy metals content in salts for salt review.2 :)))) just saying.
Many people ask about where to get iodine for better health…. But for people like me, anaphylactic if do eat a grain of salt size of iodine (.0001mcg), what salt would you then recommend??? Remember I am highly allergic to iodine.
Thanks for all the info FlavCity team! I bought the Kindle version of your new book and left an Amazon review today. Your info has really had a great impact on the way I eat, thanks again!
Would you know how pure the Celtic sea salt is. My husband has read where the plastic that is in the ocean is contaminating sea salt. What have you heard?
1 “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.” Psalm 23 kjv AMEN❣️AMEN❣️AMEN❣️
Really educational video.....I usually buy the big bottle of Himalayan salt that's fine from Costco ...... is that a good choice or should I get the version with the grinder since they have both? Plus I use the Mediterranean sea salt with the grinder from Costco.... how does that compare to the Celtic salt ?
I always cook with non iodized sea salt 🤔🤔 I didn't know they were all bleached and refined 🙄Thanks for the info 🤔👋👍Wished you did more close ups on the salt brands 🤔I bought Himalayan pink salt long time ago never liked the taste 🤔 I thing sea salt is more beneficial and natural source 🤗🤗

How Would this for someone with Kidney issues, heart issues and swelling in legs from water retention? I feel this would still be better than the “fake” salt out there and doctors seem to be so against the natural approach to healing the body saying there’s no strong scientific evidence…etc. Any advice or reading suggestions?

Have you ever hear about the Peruvian Maras Salt from the Andes?, I always hear is the healthiest one in the market and they say is better than the Pink Salt, can you do a review on that one? thanks, great channel!
What is a good way to store Celtic sea salt?? They have grinders and those wooden bowls on the Selina naturally website but want to know the best way to store
Bobby, you should do a show from TJ Maxx/Home Goods. I was in one yesterday in Countryside and they had a ton of healthy options. Good pricing too. I think it might make an interesting 10 minute video
@@BobbyParrish all under the same stock symbol. tj is the one who has the home goods store attached or is the next store over. marshall's has some good stuff too but I find the home goods store to be outstanding. there olive oil is legit.
But, we've all seen articles stating sea salt has micro-plastics in it from ocean water which is polluted with these tiny plastic pieces. I'll take my chances with iodized regular salt.
Thank you so much for the education on salt! I switched to Celtic sea salt and a few others based on one of your earlier videos where you mentioned the processing and additives.
