OP are you going to post meals everyday with your PHS on the side? I miss that.

[Anonymous No.4160827]

I use pink himilayan salt, but the whole "trace minerals" thing is really dumb. Trace means it's so small that you'd never notice it, and especially in the case of salt which you shouldn't be using a huge amount of, it means practically nothing for your health. In fact "healthy salt" in itself is like deep-frying healthy foods. The cons outweigh the benefits, you should be trying to NOT use salt whenever possible

That said, I think it's better to have unrefined salt/sugar than that nasty bleached and chemicalized table salt/table sugar you can buy for 10 cents a pound

Because you're going to get the sodium you need anyway, whenever you have a choice in it you should opt out of the salt. You don't need a tablespoon of salt a day for homeostasis

[Anonymous No.4160868]

>>4160850

I find it funny that you correctly recognize the bullshit that was the '80s lowfat diet, yet you fail to realize the "low carb" craze is simply the current bullshit diet fad. In a couple of years it will be "low protein" or someshit, then the cycle will start all over again.

[Anonymous No.4160873]

>>4160866

A tablespoon a day won't hurt you

>However, a meta-analysis published in The Journal of Hypertension found no strong evidence that reducing salt intake affects the risk of heart attack, stroke or death in people with normal or high blood pressure.[54] Furthermore, the Journal of the American Medical Association has reported that those excreting less salt (thus, presumably ingesting less) were at increased risk of dying from heart disease.[54]

[Anonymous No.4160881]

>>4160868

My point is that people eating to many carbs are what makes most people obese. Eating too much fat is causing a lot lower percentage but in the 80's they thought differently.

Low carb diets have no proven effect.

Well, I only use the shit tier salts for pasta water. For actual seasoning, I stick to PHS. I don't think anyone with a brain will use a huge amount of salt, because it is fucking salt. And LOL at salt not doing anything for your health. It is one of the most important resources that your body needs, which is why our body absorbs it so well, compared to other minerals, like iron.

Also, trace minerals thing isn't dumb, and is noticeable. Pure salt is white. All the 84 trace minerals cause the color. Also, even when ground, its texture is unique. I'm not even talking about flavor yet.

[Anonymous No.4160953]

>>4160930
Could you tell me about those 84 trace minerals. Which are those, and what are they actually doing to get you healthier?

[Anonymous No.4160982]

From what I've read, the majority of the trace minerals consist of clay and gypsum, and 98% of your precious pink salt is just sodium chloride.

I have been looking, and I seriously cannot find scientific data (besides the un-elaborated phrase that "there is scientific data proving it") that this is any better than table salt or any other sea salt.

Give me real sources and numbers or go home.

Those salt slabs for cooking are nifty though, I'll give you that, but it's not because it's pink salt.

[OP No.4160995]

>>4160953
Among the most common, Magnesium, Sulfate, and Iron. All are needed for your body to function.

>>4160982
Uh, what's healthier, something that is 98% NaCl and 2% of trace minerals that your body needs, or 100% NaCl that is made artificially through shady chemical processes.

[Anonymous No.4161025]

Obviously not, do you know why? Because the sea isn't 100% pure. Good luck finding something in nature that's not gold that's pure.

So you're saying that NaCl can have different forms depending on how it is made? That there can be things other than Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl) in Sodium Chloride (NaCl)
And that these things will make you less healthy?

With the huge fad of KOSHERSEASALT from chefs, everyone's using it. Guess what? You should be using iodized salt so your body gets that nutrient [unless you're rare and have an iodine problem].

The only reason chefs used kosher seasalt is b/c it cooks better; also fancy sounding and jews.
