⚠️ What Nutritionists Say

• No proven weight loss effect: Dietitians say it won’t burn fat or cause significant weight loss
• Hydration boost is real: It may help with hydration and fullness, which could reduce snacking—but that’s a stretch
• Risks:
  • High sodium intake can cause water retention or worsen heart/kidney issues
  • Pink salt lacks iodine, which is essential for thyroid health
