Salt has a bad reputation but in truth it's necessary for the healthy function of the human body. The problem comes in how much salt we all eat, and what kind -- because not all salts are created equal. The common table salt we see everywhere has little to no nutritional value, other than the fact that it's usually iodine fortified. But sea salt, on the other hand, provides many trace minerals such as iodine, iron, copper, zinc, manganese, cobalt, and selenium. And some forms of sea salt even contain significantly less sodium than table salt, and that's always a good thing!
