How is sea salt different from table salt, and how does the difference make sea salt better for you than table salt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Less processing: Sea salt is less heavily processed and therefore has a coarser texture and may have more base minerals remaining in the mixture. Also, table salt has added iodine. I don't know that sea salt is per se "better, " but those pursuing less heavily-processed diets often seek it for that reason.
