Salt is salt is salt; it is either sodium chloride or it isn't. Sea salt has different impurities than the salt in the store (iodine and anticaking agent) but basically, so what? I'm not aware that the stuff in the store is bad for you, and I've never seen someone point at an impurity of sea salt and say "that's good for you!" It's good at getting more money out of your pocket, that is all.
