This is just wrong.  Brine wells have been used for centuries, and industrial mining of salt, while newer, has still occurred for hundreds of years.<p>Further, sea salt and table salt both contain approximately 40% sodium.<p>If you prefer the taste or texture of sea salt, that&#x27;s fine, but don&#x27;t claim that sea salt is inherently better for you, because we have studies that show this isn&#x27;t the case.
