I like this:

If you read down the list of minerals, you will notice that it includes a number of radioactive substances like radium, uranium, and polonium. It also includes substances that act as poisons, like thallium. I wouldn’t be worried, since the amounts are so small; but if anyone believes the trace amounts of “good” minerals in Himalayan sea salt are good for you, why would they not believe the trace amounts of poisons and radioactive substances are bad for you?

Oh look, Himalayan Pink Salt has "fairly abundant trace minerals."

Oxymoron? What the Hell does that actually mean?

That's a great site and I think one of your posts introduced me to it, Paul. Thanks!

You know, my smoke detectors contain trace amounts of americium-241, which is also radioactive (and patriotic). I have several of these in my house, so if I suddenly stop posting, just assume I got cancer and died.
