Episode 2940: Dr. Neal Malik unpacks the truth about pink Himalayan salt and salt lamps, diving into the science behind their supposed health benefits. Learn why trace minerals may not be as impactful as advertised, how regular table salt could be the healthier choice, and what research really says about air-purifying salt lamps. Quotes to ponder: "Even more importantly in the case of some Himalayan salt specifically, plutonium has been found in some of these products." "Table salt is processed which removes many of these potential impurities and again gives it its white color." "Salt lamps are basically like they sound it's a clump of salt placed on top of a lightbulb. Unfortunately, we don't know if this actually happens."
