Does sea salt contain less sodium than regular table salt?

No. Salt IS sodium chloride. Sea salt is just more natural than your everyday table salt. There are those who would have us believe that Gourmet Salt (Sea Salt) contains less sodium than table salt because it is coarser. The truth of the matter is that Salt is Salt, whether it is Sea salt or table salt. All salt came from the Sea originally. Salt that is used commonly for table salt is mined. That salt was formed from Oceans that went dry and left deposits in the earth. A molecule of salt contains one part sodium and one part chlorine. (Chemically, NaCL). No matter how much you want to believe it, salt is salt and it cannot contain LESS sodium. If the chemical equation was Na2Cl rather than NaCl, I suppose it is possible to chemically take one molecule of sodium away, leaving NaCl. But that is not the case. The salt molecule is NaCl. Sodium has a valence (free electron) of +1 and Chlorine has a valence of -1. When the two elements combine they form NaCl (salt). So salt cannot possibly contain LESS sodium. That being said, sea salt is not JUST salt, it has some trace minerals and elements depending on its water source, so by weight, it has slightly less sodium than table salt (less than a tenth of a percent less).
