Going to expand on this further as you seem to be unaware ... the whole "Sea Salt" craze started about 10 years ago and reached many mass food producers. Sea Salt isn't iodized ... what does iodine do for you? Look it up, this shit has been going on for years.
Eh, "good" sea salt does contain iodine- fleur de sel, sel gris, himalayan pink. Not the commercial 'sea salt' (evaporated seawater). The questionable part, even with engineered hyper-iodized salt, is how much of the iodine is absorbed by the body. You're better off with seafood, dairy and eggs as a primary source, since the iodine is more bioavailable (potassium iodide or iodotyrosine vs. sodium iodide). Kind of like iron- you get most of it from meat, contradicting what your mama told you about spinach (bioavailable FE2+ vs. stable FE3).
The health benefit from sea salt is because it's not pure sodium chloride- the salty flavor comes from sodium, calcium and magnesium chlorides and sulfates, reducing the overall sodium intake and limiting the sodium imbalance in western diets.
Hmm...Himalayan salt has minerals, but no iodine either.
Haines has 'iodized' sea salt.
