Salt has always been a valuable commodity. It was used as currency in ancient times. However, today, it’s relatively inexpensive and a big container of Morton’s cost less than $2.00. If you get the store brand, which I normally do, it’s even less. I recently read a study posted by a friend on FaceBook that pink salt may actually be bad for you and I was patting myself on the back for being so smart when I found this video on YouTube by The Whole Journey. It’s an interview with a nutritionist about using natural unprocessed salts.
After watching the video, I’m not feeling nearly as smug. Frankly, I’m feeling more confused. She had some excellent points that might convert me to a fancy salt buyer. While the jury is still out on whether the pink Himalayan salt is good or bad for you, I’m going to try one of the others she mentioned, the Celtic Sea Salt, but still use the iodized salt in conjunction with it. I don’t eat seaweed, one of the best ways to get iodine, so supplementing with a little salt is a good idea.
