15. Pink Salt?

Pink salt is salt. End of story.
There are trace elements like manganese & magnesium (both less than 1ppm) that can impart the pink color.
There is WAY under 1% of lithium chloride & potassium chloride, which are both still common salts.
I find it impossible to believe that salt is a diet, especially since the color is imparted by levels too low to have any nutritional impact.
BTW: pink salt lack any iodide, so it's actually less healthy than common ionized table salt.
The recipes I've seen is just salt water with lemon juice & and optional sweetener.
Just silly.
