All are primarily sodium chloride. Differences in taste due to coming from different sources. Slight difference in other mineral content. Black salt is from volcanic salt stone salt. Black salt and Himalayan salt are not processed. But even so contain very very little of anything else than sodium chloride. It would take over 4 tablespoons of Himalayan salt to give you just 6% of the daily recommended iron you need. far above any recommended salt intake for anyone.

cb at sea Posted October 16, 2019 #29 Share Posted October 16, 2019 It's all SODIUM.....aside from a slight taste difference, it's all the same...your body processes all sodium in the same way. None are "healthier" than others. Too much is bad for you....too little is, too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeinaz Posted October 16, 2019 #30 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Does any add anything besides saltiness? Can you taste a difference in the salts? Maybe I will sample each with a tequila shot before choosing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use Himalayan Pink Salt at home, so that is what we choose on board. It is really not that expensive. I just bought 5 pounds of it for $8.99 last week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, there are no studies that have ever correlated pink salt to be healthier for people. There are trace elements of many other minerals in the pink salt, but not nearly enough in it to make any kind of difference in health. It's not worse than regular salt, just there's really no difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it matter what you order? It may be something new. They had it on Vista in Feb and Glory in August. I never ate in the steakhouse before Vista so being offered a salt choice is all I know. But I was offered it on Vista both times (surf n turf and filet) and on glory (cowboy steak). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about studies, but my BIL just had open heart surgery and the doctor told him the only salt he can use is the pink sea salt.

I was actually referring to the pink himilayan salt that a lot of people tout as being much healthier. That has not shown to have any additional health benefits by any study that I have found. History is full of scientific "facts" that have later been proven to be wrong, misleading or outright false. For example, doctors believed bloodletting was a good thing for disease in the middle ages. Another example is that nutritionists even today aren't sure what level of salt to recommend on a daily basis. The fact is that everyone is different and they can't even say that if you reduce salt intake it will reduce blood pressure. Their doctor could be recommending sea salt for a variety of reasons. Maybe the doctor just doesn't want refined salt or salt with iodine in it, which most table salt has. Honestly, though most of the salt intake we get is through the food itself and not added after.

Gottcha. I really don't have a dog in this fight. I use what is ever on the table which is not much. That being said, the hubs likes the pink salt. Don't think it's for "medicinal" purposes, he just likes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use whatever's available as well. I can't argue there's not a taste / texture difference though. I'm sure there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted December 29, 2019 Author #42 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I’m a little more confused about the salt thing now. On Magic I ate at the steakhouse three times. I had the wagyu, the ribeye, and the lobster. They never gave me a salt choice. I thought “maybe they don’t do that on this ship.” But on my lobster night, they gave the table two tables down from me a salt choice for their steaks. So now I’m wondering if it’s only for certain steaks? That doesn’t make sense. Maybe some servers do it and others don’t want to bother with it? I don’t know.
