Table salt is essentially pure sodium chloride (with possibly a small amount of anti-caking agents, and perhaps a bit of a iodine compound if it's iodized salt).

Sea salt is impure sodium chloride.

Since sea salt contains contaminants other than sodium chloride, it will have a slightly lower percentage of sodium than table salt.

Sea salt is produced by the evaporation of sea water, and in addition to sodium chloride it contains trace elements such as sulfur, magnesium, zinc, potassium, calcium, and iron.

No. It may be slightly healthier than purified refined table salt, but it is still high in sodium and should not be used if one has high blood pressure or has been recommended by a doctor to be on a low sodium diet.

It isn't. It's actually beneficial if not in excess. Sea salt is less processed than mined salt.

I don't think there's any such thing as "low-salt sodium".

For example, LoSalt is only one third sodium chloride and two thirds potassium chloride
