Natural Salt: Pretty Packaging, Not a Health Solution

Pink, coarse, and flaky, natural salts lure foodies and curious shoppers alike. Eye-catching packaging makes subtle promises of health benefits that, on close inspection, simply don’t pan out.
Research confirms the minerals in these salts are almost undetectable in each serving. In contrast, fruits and greens deliver robust amounts of all the nutrients your body really needs.
Meanwhile, most of us surpass even the conservative six-gram recommendation for sodium—unaware that the stealthiest sources are often commercial breads, sauces, and snacks.
To truly support your body, focus your health effort on eating less salt overall—not just switching which kind comes from the shaker.
