People are Pooping Plastic...

Himalayan sea salt is what I use the most.

Some *other types of salt have anti caking agent added to it, which is not good for you. Try to avoid salt with additives, such as yellow prussiate of soda (anti-caking agent) aka Sodium ferrocyanide. Another anti caking agent used in some salt is sodium silico-aluminate.

Just get SALT, without the anti caking additives for cooking.

Himalayan has the most plastic. omg!

I had assumed that Himalayan salt would be pretty safe, given the inland locations of Himalayan salt mines, but I was wrong; Himalayan sea salt actually had a high mean level of particles.

that doesn't make sense. how could plastic be in the freshly mined rock?

Ocean life has had dozens, if not hundreds, times the amount of microplastics in their digestive systems for decades.

Plastic is inferior as a container compared to glass when it comes to safely storing consumables. It's simply more expensive to manufacture and recycle, and profit is king in a capitalist society.

Some of the least biodegradable forms of plastic are solely used for marketing purposes to make the packaging of products more appealing to consumers.


Look at what the CDC has to say about phthalates:

How Phthalates Affect People’s Health
Human health effects from exposure to low levels of phthalates are unknown. Some types of phthalates have affected the reproductive system of laboratory animals. More research is needed to assess the human health effects of exposure to phthalates.

more research is needed = sorry, we don't care enough about your health to risk the cost effectiveness of using plastic to maximize profit from your consumerist driven mindset

This isn’t the first time that researchers studied cases of microplastic ingestion in humans.

In 2018, scientists from the Medical University of Vienna and the Environment Agency Austria monitored a group of eight participants, each from a different country around the globe.

The scientists detected the presence of up to nine different kinds of microplastics in all of the stool samples.

In addition, based on the entries in the participants’ food diaries, the scientists speculated that microplastic ingestion is linked to drinking from plastic bottles or consuming foods that use plastic packaging. Six of the participants consumed sea fish.

In all, the scientists found 20 microplastic particles per 10 g of stool. These findings serve to confirm suspicions that plastics have reached the human gut, the group said. From there, microplastic particles are capable of entering the bloodstream and reaching different organs.
