Salt display! Iodized, pink, black or low-modal, which is better? All you need to know
In this episode of 5live, the focus on widespread confusion and misinformation around a variety of salt. The discussion evaluates the health claims of iodized, pink, black, deserted salt (rock salt), and low-postium salts. While pink salt is marketed as a healthy option with 84 minerals, it is still about 98–99% sodium chloride, which is similar to regular table salt. The report states that the average Indian adult salt consumption is 10–12 grams per day, which is twice the recommendation of WHO of less than 5 grams. Most of this intake comes from hidden sources such as pickles, papad and processed foods. Nutritionist Suman Aggarwal says, “People do not feel hidden salt. The food has a lot of hidden salt, which is like a sauce … then there is roti.” The section emphasizes that the amount of salt consumed is a more important issue than types, and underlines the continuous importance of iodic salt in India to prevent disorders of iodine deficiency.
