  • Is Pink Salt Healthier?

    It's touted in the wellness world as a 'healthier' salt because it's more natural and contains essential minerals. But is this true?  Tara looks at  the latest research by Nutrition Research Australia which examines the levels of nutrients in pink salt, and whether these levels are high enough to warrant it being a healthier salt.  The research also discovers that pink salt contains heavy metals such as aluminium and lead.

    Tara also gives an overview of salt and the effects on the body, and helps you to decide whether pink salt is really worth all the hype.
