Sea Salt Vs Table Salt

Despite what recent research may suggest physicians and nutritionists know too much table salt is not good for you. It can cause fluid retention and can be very hard on the kidneys.

In a survey conducted by the American Heart Association, 61 percent of respondents incorrectly agreed that sea salt is a lower sodium alternative to table salt. Table salt and most sea salts contain about 40 percent sodium by weight.

Kosher salt and some sea salts may have larger crystal sizes than table salt, so they may have less sodium by volume (e.g., by teaspoon or tablespoon). A teaspoon of table salt has about 2,300 mg of sodium, but a teaspoon of sea salt or kosher salt may have less sodium because fewer crystals fit into the spoon.

Some varieties of sea salt may claim to have less sodium than table salt. You can check the Nutrition Facts label to compare how a given sea salt compares to table salt, which has about 575 mg sodium per ¼ teaspoon.

“It’s very important for people to be aware that sea salt often has as much sodium as table salt,” said Rachel K. Johnson, Ph.D., R.D., an American Heart Association spokeswoman and the Bickford Professor of Nutrition at the University of Vermont.

      you have concerns I would speak with your physician. Kindest Regards Eli.

  2. Sea salts that are gathered from the ocean are increasingly found to be contaminated with micro-plastics. If you are going to use salt, it may be safer to use salt harvested from seabeds that existed many millions of years ago. Himalayan salt comes from ancient seabeds that existed before our modern times.
