Thot this another viewpoint:

Mined salt and sea salt are equally nutritious but the way they are
produced give them a slightly different flavor. Both table salts are
made by evaporating either sea water or salty brine made of mined salt
and water until salt crystals are formed. Both kinds of salt are
filtered. Federal standards require that all table salts are at least
97.5 percent sodium chloride. Sodium is a nutrient that
contributes to good water balance, blood pH, and stomach, nerve, and
muscle function. Most sea salt is so refined that only trace amounts of
minerals remain. Even expensive, unprocessed sea salt is not worth it
because you get more iron and phosphorous in a single grape than you
would get from an unpalatable amount of sea salt. The small amounts of
calcium and magnesium in unprocessed sea salt cannot even be considered
trace amounts. Larger crystal sea salt lends a more biting taste.
