Why are products containing "sea salt" listed as lower in sodium?

Methinks there is more to it than just the changeover from one sodium chloride to another. Salt is a preservative, and what is occurring is the myth that "sea salt is just as salty" as underground salt," so the myth provides an excuse for "low salt" or "saltless" things such as cakes, pie crusts, soups, preserves, vegetables, etc..

Salt kills bacteria and less salt means more danger from bacteria. "Sea salt" is not a known preservative for canning. It is not a known ingredient in baking or cooking. Lowering salt does not maintain preservation from bacteria. Canning has not changed. Neither have bacteria gotten the message. Time to alert your friends. Every can of Coke is missing 1 tsp. of sugar, and some sodium. Look for an old can if you have one. This change only occurred in the last 6 months.

Commercial bakeries are removing the salt and the sugar (and what else?) Start reading. Campbell's is the notorious "leader" of the pack, on their heels is Coca-Cola removing the sugar & sodium in Coke. I have read hundreds of food labels in the last year, and it is definitely a new edict. Heretofore you cannot leave a coke stand at room temperature for two months--(it would NEVER spoil before.) Coke removes rust from chrome bumpers! If you remember bumpers. It aids digestion. Coke Syrup was a prescribed cure by pediatricians for infants & children for stomach upsets. We don't know what is in it--but it works! You can't get it anymore. Sodium is a necessary item in foods under pressurized cans. It is invaluable for seafood preserving.

What is this sudden rush to remove sugar & salt? Government? Who gets hurt by this? We do.

Work of Human Hands, Fr. Anthony Cekada, 2010, Philothea Press.

Salt is not JUST sodium chloride. Any metal halide is a salt for example. Potassium Chloride is also a salt. Sea water contains many salts, not just sodium ones and so its precipitate (sea salt) will contain less sodium salts than pure sodium chloride.

You never actually studied any Chemistry, did you?

"Sodium chloride" is TABLE SALT, it isn't the ONLY kind of salt.... "Lite salt" is potassium chloride and tastes almost exactly the same as table salt, and has ZERO sodium!.....It's just not as popular because it only tastes ALMOST the same...

No, it's not true that "salt is salt, isn't it?", and had you paid more attention in school you'd KNOW that!

Are you a "Roman" Catholic Deacon?

I have asked twice and you never responded.
