In a Nutshell

The video exposes Redmond Real Salt's flaws—heavy metals (up to 290 ppb lead, 91 ppb arsenic), mined from deep earth with explosives risking contamination, and poor mineral profile (99% sodium chloride)—prompting the creator to switch to Salter Norwegian sea salt (30 ppb lead, 15.7% trace minerals like potassium and magnesium) for ancestral appropriateness and safety in high-carnivore salt intake. Heavy metals bioaccumulate in bones over decades (20-30 year half-life), outweighing sea salt's microplastic risks. Creator stopped recommending/selling Redmond, now promotes Salter shakers to fund Healing Humanity's carnivore health projects.

Exposing Redmond's Real Salt. Have been recommending Redmond's for so long but can't in good conscience continue recommending it. Please be open-minded. This video shares what I am doing and the reasons why, especially for people new to this space who have never heard of Redmond salt, Celtic salt, or Himalayan pink sea salt. There's a default tribal thing with salt, particularly Redmond salt. Redmond was my default go-to for a long time.

Saw this with Paul Saladino, Max German's YouTube channel, and other carnivore friends. First time salt was on radar from Paul Saladino. Talking about salt with carnivores is like talking about politics or religion. Learned more and decided to change. If wrong, leave a comment. Paul Saladino highlighted aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, and lead in some salts.

Paul went through major salts and broke down heavy metal content. Viewer frustration: "I can't enjoy any food without risk of dying." Sobering truth in a broken system. Paul Saladino's video got Redmond on radar over a year ago.

Recently saw Max German's video: Popular salt brands contain toxic contaminants that accumulate and inflame the gut. Well-researched with studies. Comments tore him up: "Glyphosate, plastic, and lead is in everything. I'm sticking with Redmond's." Another: "Your listeners are calling you for your BS." If arguments with Max's video, provide reasons. It was a deep dive into salts, effects in body, studies on types.

As carnivores, salt is huge part of diet: meat, water, and salt at every meal. Previously on standard American diet, barely used salt; it was in processed food. Not telling anyone what to do, just sharing for newcomers worried about heavy metals accumulating in bones over decades.

Hesitant to do video. Not sponsored by Salter, though did videos with Scott who runs Meatstock. Learned from Scott about heavy metals; he made his own salt. Initially thought salt is salt, but dug in more after Paul Saladino, Max German, and own research.

People take tribal positions: "I'm a Redmond's guy, that's my identity." If facts or science missing, educate. Barely graduated high school. Sharing reasons for decisions. Can't in good conscience continue recommending Redmond's. Redmond is industry standard for keto/carnivore space, better than iodized table salt, but three specific reasons for switching.
