Spotted this ingredient while doing my groceries yesterday.No I wasn't going to fall for this again,as in the case with my misadventure with Dendritic salt.Did a quick search online,on the spot and came up with nothing.Unconvinced more so since it had the colour of Patrick's pants (the starfish from Spongebob) I headed to the nearest wifi zone and started digging.
Google it and you will find that many have only good things to say about the salt,its properties and associated wonders.Dwelve deeper and you find articles like this that have been disputed and mocked by what some suspect are the sellers of the pink salt itself.
I am not the only paranoid Penangite as some would have you believe,the Germans had a run a chemical analysis cos I suppose they too were mighty suspicious.Am not,however including the table here,I'm sure you can find that yourself.
But I do believe there is reason to doubt that these salts are safe for consumption.I would presume that it would be better to market it as a foot soak or bath salt as opposed to a unproven to be foodsafe product.
Now that it has hit our local shelves,you be the judge of whether or not it should go into your dish since gourmet chefs like Jamie Oliver n celebrities have put their stamp of approval on its benefits.
This link came out in 2008.Read the article n following feedback b4 introducing it into your system.As with every health product,do approach it with a pinch of salt.
Since we are on this subject,I do hope that you are aware that some Taiwanese living in Penang and the northern states are marketing their home made vinegars(the ones that we put into the mudballs,throw into the sea,add a capful to our washing)as a cure all.It's highly debatable if you should consume this as well.After all too much of a good thing is bad for the body.
Case in point?
In the late 80s,many Aussie vitamin companies set up store here.Some retirees can tell you tales of how they took all the information on the pamphlets as the word of god,consumed the western herbs for blood thinning purposes(reason given on the brochures was to prevent artery clog up that would lead to heart attacks) ,etc and paid the price for it in their old age.
