What sea salt is healthy?

“Why You Should Never Eat Salt”
The main concern seems to be:
What about sea salt? Doesn’t it contain less sodium and more trace minerals, making it a healthier alternative to regular table salt?
Let’s have a look:

Sea Salt Contains Less Sodium Chloride
This may be true for some sea salt brands, but not for the majority of them.
Most sea salts actually do not contain any less sodium chloride than regular table salt, which contains around 99% NaCl!
Himalayan salt, while not evaporated from seawater, is another heavily-marketed “healthy” salt. And yet even Himalayan salt contains about 98% (perhaps as low as 95%) sodium chloride.
Celtic sea salt contains the lowest amount at around 84% sodium chloride.
The bottom line? All extracted sodium chloride, including sea salt, is comprised of mostly sodium chloride.
Sea Salt is Full of Trace Minerals
It’s true that sea salt does contain trace minerals while table salt does not. But what’s most important here is quantity.

As I said above, sea salt contains about 98-99% sodium chloride. That leaves a measly 1-2% for trace minerals like magnesium, calcium, and sulfur.
Even if you were to add a whole heaping teaspoon of salt to a meal (please don’t ever do this!), you would still only receive negligible amounts of minerals.
You would literally have to consume a massive amount of the stuff to receive any meaningful amount of these minerals, which means consuming massive amounts of sodium chloride right along with it.
Wouldn’t it be much safer, healthier, and more efficient to get your minerals from whole foods?
Fruits and Veggies Win Again!
You do not need to consume table salt, sea salt, or any other form of extracted sodium chloride to be healthy. In fact, it’s best to avoid salt completely.
You can get all the minerals you need, in the forms, quantities, and combinations that you need them, simply by consuming a healthy diet of raw fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds.
