Actually: many impurities

These "net red salt"

Almost all have a common selling point:

"Contains special minerals"

And known as "good -looking and delicious" "healthier".

These expensive salt

Is it really better than ordinary salt?

Experts from the Expert of Kexin Food and Health Information Exchange Center said

Merchant claim

"Himalayan powder salt

Sodium chloride content is above 98%

The rest include iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, silicon, copper, etc.

More than 80 minerals needed by the human body

It is a veritable king of salt ""

translate

Is the salt with a purity of 98%

The remaining 2%is more than 80 impurities.

Experts said

In fact, trace elements in salt

It can be ignored (except for the reinforcement agent)

After all, the salt intake is too low every day.

It's a taste,

Don't expect to "make up" by salt

Expert reminder

The idea of ​​"replenishing mineral material through salt"

Unreliable

According to the information

There are three main categories of edible salt in my country:

Sea salt, lake salt, mineral salt

Different sources of salt

There is no big difference in nutritional composition and value

Mark according to the "Nutritional Settings Table"

These three types:

Sodium

Sodium, iodine

Sodium, iodine, potassium.

After the revision

Salt no longer allows added nutritional enhancers except iodine

As for calcium, iron and other minerals

It is unreliable by eating salt to eat

Salt is just a condiment

Not health products

You don't need to pay attention to too many ingredients

Just look at sodium and iodine.

And those stories in the "Internet Red Salt" propaganda copywriting

No scientific basis

There is also suspicion of false propaganda

Market Supervision Department, Consumer Association, and related industry associations

Is it necessary to take a shot in time

Tear off the misleading packaging of some "net red salt"

After all, only a few mouthfuls of salt a day

The quality and safety of salt

Far more important than the face value and background story
