Both pink salt (Himalayan salt) and white salt (table salt) contain sodium chloride and are primarily composed of the same basic mineral

They differ in their mineral content and processing, but scientific evidence to support one is healthier from the other is limited

Pink Himalayan salt contains trace minerals like potassium, magnesium, and calcium, which give it its characteristic pink colour

The amounts of these trace minerals are very small and unlikely to provide significant health benefits

White salt is typically more processed and may contain additives like anti-caking agents or iodine, which is important for thyroid function

In terms of health, both salts are similar when consumed in moderation

There's no strong scientific evidence to suggest that pink Himalayan salt is significantly healthier than table salt

The choice between pink Himalayan salt and table salt comes down to personal preference and taste
