A little off topic, but Sea Salt as "more healthy" is basically a scam. Sea salt is sodium chloride, same as regular salt. Different salts may have a few extra chemicals, but healthwise the difference is trivial. Costwise it is not. If you are cooking you can use less sea salt per volume because the grind is larger than table salt. That is, a teaspoon of sea salt has more sodium than a teaspoon of regular salt. By weight, there is the same amount of sodium in sea salt as in regular salt and that is the only important thing as a health issue.
