A member asked:

Are there any health benefits to hemalayan salt vs regular fine table salt?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

None at all: Himalayan salt has a few extra minerals and a lovely color, but most of it is salt and no different than any other salt. Salt should be monitored in your diet and controlled. You get nothing extra from himalayan salt.
