hey what's up this is David Benjamin
0:02
from healthy wildf free in today's video
0:03
I'm going to be sharing with you a study
0:05
that was done that showed the different
0:07
levels of heavy metals that are in very
0:10
well-known salt Brands now we all use
0:12
salt on a daily basis I use salt in my
0:15
cooking when I cook eggs or meat every
0:17
single day without fail and then I'll
0:19
often also add salt to my water as a
0:22
form of electrolytes either in a form of
0:24
an electrolyte powder or just simple
0:26
sprinkling Salt in My Water so we use
0:30
salt and salt is healthy and don't
0:32
believe the lie we've been told that
0:33
salt is unhealthy salt is very healthy
0:36
it's essential and it contains an array
0:38
of minerals that are important for what
0:40
is known as intracellular hydration and
0:43
what that means is we have water outside
0:45
of our cells and we have water in our
0:47
cells and water outside of the cells is
0:49
called extra meaning outside
0:52
extracellular and water inside is intra
0:54
in meaning inside intracellular
0:57
hydration and what this means is that
1:00
the water that is outside of the cell
1:02
needs to get inside of the cell but the
1:03
cell has a membrane a wall and in order
1:06
for that wall to open there needs to be
1:08
what is known as osmotic pressure or
1:11
it's it's a process of osmosis and
1:14
electrolytes which are minerals and salt
1:16
being a part of that is what literally
1:18
creates that pressure to open the cell
1:20
wall to allow water to get into the cell
1:22
to create intracellular hydration so
1:24
it's very important it's one of the
1:26
essential things that we need for health
1:28
in our life is a healthy a healthy level
1:31
of salt and obviously water for
1:33
hydration these two go hand in hand so
1:35
with that being said I'm going to read
1:36
to you uh some statistics that was that
1:39
were uh that were just simply found from
1:41
this study of looking at I think it was
1:43
like 10 to 15 different salts so I'll
1:46
read these statistics to you and then
1:47
I'll share with you the results of the
1:49
findings with specific salt Brands so
1:51
you can avoid those Brands and then at
1:53
the end of this video I'm going to share
1:54
with you the two healthiest brands with
1:56
the lowest levels of heavy metals that
1:59
are just simply the healthiest and then
2:00
the number one brand that's the lowest
2:01
in heavy metals but also microplastic
2:03
free so wait and watch to the end of
2:05
this video so let me share these stats
2:07
with you aluminum was detected in 78% of
2:10
salt products so basically 8 out of 10
2:12
arsenic was found in 100 get this 100%
2:16
of salt products cadmium was found in
2:18
70% of salt products thankfully Mercury
2:22
was not found in any salt products and
2:23
that's really good because Mercury is
2:25
the most toxic heavy metal so that's a
2:28
plus um unfortunately lead was found in
2:32
96% of salt products and then some
2:35
microplastics and salts as well so
2:37
really the two most dangerous heavy
2:39
metals found in salts are arsenic
2:41
because it's in 100% of salt that was
2:43
tested and Lead which is a 96% so
2:46
basically everything so you can look up
2:48
the uh Health negative health effects of
2:50
lead and arsenic generally speaking
2:53
heavy metals are going to affect your
2:54
brain health and your nervous system
2:56
which runs throughout your entire body
2:58
it can also affect your immune system it
2:59
can uh they can get uh caught sort of or
3:02
trapped in specific organs in your body
3:04
and that's problematic as well so here's
3:06
the salts that were tested uh Artisan
3:08
Salt Company ancient ocean Himalayan
3:11
salt um that had aluminum 130 parts per
3:15
million 40 Parts Pilon Arsenic and then
3:18
a very small amount of cadmium 74 um
3:22
Menace swets natural kosher salt
3:26
29.5 parts per million aluminum r 12
3:31
McCormick finded Himalayan salt 167
3:34
parts per million aluminum 44 parts per
3:37
billion um arsenic so not good Himalayan
3:42
salt so far is worse than coaster salt
3:45
Redmond's real ancient salt get this
3:47
I've talked about Redmond real ancient
3:48
salt before because it is it does have a
3:50
nutritional profile it's interesting
3:52
it's actually nutritionally better for
3:53
red blood cells it's an inland salt in
3:56
Utah as opposed to a seab based salt in
3:58
the ocean but get this Himalayan
4:01
salt um is high but Redmond's Real Salt
4:06
229 parts per million of aluminum so
4:09
higher than Himalayan salt so Himalayan
4:11
salt is high but Redmond's Real Salt is
4:13
even higher in aluminum and uh the
4:16
Arsenic was 36 parts per billion so very
4:19
similar to Himalayan Sal in the aluminum
4:22
category San Francisco Salt Company
4:25
251 parts per million aluminum and 39
4:29
parts per billion of arsenic get this
4:32
Celtic Sea salt that we've all heard Dr
4:35
Barbara O'Neal talk about and people are
4:37
raving about Celtic Sea salt
4:40
171 parts per million of aluminum and
4:44
82 parts per bilion of arsenic literally
4:48
the highest level of arsenic in any salt
4:51
is Celtic Sea salt so Redmond sea salt
4:54
is really high in aluminum and Celtic
4:57
Sea salt is really high in arsenic
5:00
continuing on we have sha Himalayan Sal
5:02
173 parts per million aluminum 42 parts
5:06
per billion arsenic spice lab Himalayan
5:08
salt 242 parts per million aluminum 46
5:11
parts per billion arsenic Trader Joe's
5:15
83 parts per million aluminum so
5:20
actually quite a bit lower Trader Joe's
5:21
interesting one enough has him land that
5:23
has lower heavy medals and 30 but 33
5:25
parts per billion for your arsenic at
5:27
Trader Jo so still pretty similar with
5:30
the Arsenic but slightly better Trader
5:33
Jo kudos to them Wesley Farms kosher
5:35
Himalayan salt 211 parts per million so
5:39
once again pretty high and 35 parts per
5:42
billion of Arsenic and then I the reason
5:44
I didn't say cadmium is because really
5:47
the only one that's high in cadmium is
5:48
Redmond's real Soul so Redmond's real C
5:50
is high in aluminum Arsenic and cadmium
5:53
um the Redman's Real Salt was 7.3 parts
5:56
per billion of cadmium everyone else is
5:58
like one actually well there's uh two
6:02
and three and the two I'm going to share
6:03
with you in cadmium but their other
6:05
heavy metals are so low they're
6:06
undetectable so that's the key
6:08
difference there so with that being said
6:11
what's important to understand here is
6:12
that Himalayan salt is not healthy
6:14
Redmond Real Salt is not healthy and
6:17
Celtic salt is not healthy these salts
6:19
are actually quite high and aluminum and
6:24
uh Arsenic and uh the cium levels are
6:27
actually okay uh but the two salts I'm
6:30
going to share with you that are the
6:32
healthiest salts that I found in terms
6:34
of the lowest levels of heavy
6:36
metals are these two right here so I'm
6:38
going to share with you the first one
6:39
and then the last one so the first one
6:41
is Baja sea salt uh this is a product
6:44
that is their distributed out of Georgia
6:46
I don't know where the salt actually
6:49
from um it doesn't actually say which is
6:52
kind of strange to be honest I don't
6:54
know why um oh the harvested from the
6:57
sea of Cortez which I actually don't
6:59
know where that is so I should have done
7:00
better research for this video but it's
7:01
from CF Cortez um I think that oh I
7:05
think that's in Mexico yeah I think
7:06
that's in Mexico so yeah P of Mexico
7:09
there we go right in the package just
7:10
had to look a little further so uh Baja
7:12
salt is from Mexico fima salt is also
7:14
from Mexico so interestingly enough the
7:17
lowest heavy metal salts are from Mexico
7:19
which is pretty cool and good to know
7:21
now uh this one Baja salt had m m ml
7:28
minimum request or something uh level
7:32
ml means uh the minimum reporting level
7:36
excuse me the minimum reporting level so
7:38
bajas salt and cola salt had the minimum
7:40
reporting level of aluminum and arsenic
7:43
they did have some cadmium in them uh
7:47
but every other salt had cadmium as well
7:49
so there's two and three parts per
7:51
billion I believe it is um yeah parts
7:54
per billion so uh they're both the
7:57
levels of aluminum and aric are so low
8:01
in these salts that they literally could
8:03
not detect them like that's how low they
8:05
were so these are the two best salts you
8:07
can possibly get as far as heavy metals
8:08
now I will say kma sea salt is
8:13
1.4 parts per billion lower in than
8:15
Baja salt so Baja salt has a little bit
8:18
more cadmium and kma salt has less
8:20
cadmium additionally kimma salt sort of
8:23
their claim to fame is they claim that
8:26
there is zero once again zero micr
8:30
Plastics in their salt and I will say
8:32
out of the these two salts they both
8:33
taste great uh the kma salt is just
8:37
something special and different it
8:40
actually has a um it's like the saltiest
8:44
salt I've ever had and what I love about
8:46
that is I can use less and I it just is
8:50
so incredibly flavorful I cannot say
8:53
enough about kma salt I've tried so many
8:55
different salts in my life uh from all
8:57
over the world and I I have to say kma
9:00
salt has this like almost like almost
9:03
like a smoky flavor it's not Smoky but
9:05
it's got this like rich like like earthy
9:09
uh I don't even know how to describe it
9:10
it's just delicious I had it on my eggs
9:12
this morning and I just opened this
9:14
today because I was using Baja and uh I
9:17
like kma the most so that's the one I'm
9:19
going to recommend and also I like them
9:21
the most because not only the healthiest
9:22
in terms of heavy metals but
9:24
additionally um they are the lowest uh
9:28
they're lower than Bajan cabinet but if
9:29
you're going to get a salt get Baja or
9:31
kma because they're the healthiest F
9:32
salts you can possibly get but kma has
9:34
the lower lowest heavy metals and zero
9:37
microplastics so I'd recommend it um and
9:39
it's kind of a cool story I recently met
9:41
someone whose brother lives in kma and I
9:43
started telling her about this salt and
9:45
she was like oh yeah like I totally
9:47
believe it um and that specific region
9:49
they're they're just like known for this
9:51
and they it's like some of the best salt
9:52
in the world so uh this company Ava
9:54
James col Sal is harvested from La
9:57
Laguna De Kon in kma Mexico the same
10:00
place that Aztec traded their salt over
10:03
500 years ago this salt is unique in
10:05
that it does not come from seawater rain
10:07
water soaks through the Dry Lagoon bed
10:09
Earth's natural filter dissolving the
10:11
essential minerals as it goes it is then
10:13
drawn to the surface into the shallow
10:15
Pond by salinos traditional salt Farmers
10:19
then allowed to evaporate in the hot
10:20
Mexican Sun this process protects the
10:22
environment and local Wildlife with your
10:24
purchase you're supporting the small
10:25
salt economy of the ceros their families
10:27
and their way of salt harvesting please
10:29
enjoy away every delightful crystal in
10:31
this bag um and what's cool about this
10:33
too is this salt I will say it's like
10:36
it's sort of like flakier I it's just
10:40
it's like the best salt I've ever had in
10:42
my life um I don't know if I can really
10:45
show it on camera here but it's like I
10:47
mean it's like literally like little
10:49
salt rocks it's like salt drugs salt
10:53
crystals um it's honestly just so good
10:57
um it has the most unique salty flavor
11:01
I've ever had so um kma sea salt it's
11:05
100% natural and unrefined there's no
11:06
added ingredients is completely pure
11:09
I'll put the link to their uh their
11:11
company below I'll put the link to Baja
11:13
as well um you know they're both really
11:16
good and they're both going to be much
11:18
healthier choices and they're the lowest
11:19
and heavy metal salt so get one of these
11:21
salts stop using himan salt stop using
11:24
Redmond's Real Salt stop using Celtic
11:28
salt these they're not healthy salts
11:30
they're high heavy metals and these two
11:31
are the lowest in heavy metals so check
11:33
them out I'll put them in the
11:34
description below and I'll also put the
11:35
link to this article below so that uh
11:38
you can see kind of the the breakdown in
11:40
parts per billion and parts per million
11:42
parts parts per million and parts per
11:44
billion levels of each individual metal
11:46
if you want to kind of get more granular
