From the Mayo Clinic:\n"Nutritionally speaking, kosher salt and sea salt are no different than table salt. The difference between these types of salt primarily concerns their taste and texture. Salt can be harvested from seawater through evaporation (sea salt), or it can be mined from inland deposits (rock salt). Either can be fully refined, and the end result is pure sodium chloride. Variations in the refining process result in different forms of salt."\nhttp://www.mayoclinic.com/health/sea-salt/AN01142\n\nFrom HealthyEatingClub.com:\n"Essentially there is no difference between the two. Sea salt and ordinary salt are basically identical in that they both contain sodium and chloride. The slight difference lies in the impurities. Sea salt is made from sea water and contains trace amounts of other substances found in sea water such as magnesium, iodine and zinc."\nhttp://www.healthyeatingclub.com/bookstore/foodqa/ch2/2-32.htm\n\nFrom National Health Review:\n" Sea salt is not more healthful than regular salt. Salt is sodium chloride, no matter from what its derivation. Sea salt is essentially sodium chloride, and refined salt, obtained from the sea, has little nutritional advantage."\n"http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0876/is_n56/ai_9164628"\n\nFrom a health forum search engine:\nhttp://dnoneoftheabove.com/?cx=002486926153363561559%3Ayblv8b6jj6c&q=%22sea+salt%22+iodine+OR+ordinary+OR+regular+OR+table&sa=Search&cof=FORID%3A9\n.

Common table salt has other ingredients in it including sugar. It is not close to pure.   It would take very efficient purification.

Salt is a required substance for proper body function.  Granted, too much salt can be bad, but there is a certain amount needed in order for your body systems to work.\n\nSo, like any other necessary substance, when the body detects a shortage of salt, you sense a physiological craving for salt.\n\nOn the other hand, some people (myself included) just have an affinity for salty snacks, so we may occasionally take in too much - has nothing to do with need, just desire.

adding salt to water increases the boiling point and lowers the freezing point, so it definitely wont be the salt water. (on another note, that's why some people add salt to the water when making pasta- the water will begin to boil at a higher temperature, so when the person adds the pasta to the water it cooks faster).\n\nsugar water would have a less dramatic effect than salt water, but plain water itself would freeze the fastest.

because the salt u use in the kitchen does not contain all the particals in the sea water like sodium sulphate magnesium sulphate etc because they are removed in the process  of making the salt and some times the salt it cut down from deep earth and they are also cleaned by removing the toxic particles and iodised which may alter the sea water salt from earth solt altho the main component of salt is Na Cl it has other particals such as iodine and k+ irons Fe ect...

Salt is not salt.\n\nSea salt contains a higher percentage of Potassium Chloride (KCl) than table salt which is mainly sodium Chloride (NaCl). It is the sodium content of salt that can cause damage if too much is ingested. The sodium content of the body's blood, interstitial and intracellular fluids is the key determinant in the volume of water the body retains.\n\nGenerally the more water the higher your blood pressure.\n\nSubstituting the sodium with potassium helps to lower the associated risks of excess salt intake.\n\nHowever excess potassium ingestion hasw problems of its own including dysfuntioning of electrically active cells (heart, nerves, muscles). But the concentrations needed are quite high.

salt helps maintain water in the body

Your cells are always in an isotonic solution which means the solute level (salt and other material) and the water level is about the same. Salt water is a hypertonic solution because the levels of solute outnumber the water. When you drink salt water it causes the water in your cells to leave the try to reach equilibrium. This causes them to shrink and ultimatily make the organism die.

The salt that you find in table salt and most processed foods is sodium chloride. Salt in this form has been processed at high temperatures, which changes the molecular structure and removes vital minerals from the salt. Table salt also contains additives, anticaking agents, and even sugar. Excess salt consumption is associated with high blood pressure, fluid retention, heart and kidney disease.\n\nTrash It: Dump out your salt shaker and toss out all other packaged or processed foods with a high sodium content. This should be pretty easy for most people.\n\nStash it: We have been told for years to avoid salt, but following this advice can lead to even more problems. We are all salty on the inside—our blood, sweat, tears, and even our urine—it's all salty. It's important to replenish the salt in our body, using the right salt is what makes all the difference in the world. The best way to put salt back into your body is to use Celtic sea salt. This high quality salt contains over 80 balanced minerals from the sea. Celtic sea salt is essential for maintaining proper fluid balance and utilization in the body. It also normalizes blood pressure, enhances digestion, and nourishes the adrenal glands. Celtic sea salt is available at many natural food stores

Not sure exactly what you are asking regarding "substance".  In the diet, salt would have alot to do with low/high pressure and it increases the volume of fluid/blood in your body the heart has to pump.  If you want to lower pressure, decrease your salt intake and processed/fast foods; also no sodas.  Increase water/fluids. Hope this helps.

Salt is bad for EVERYONE. Not just guys. It's good to eat a little because it has Iodine, a necessary nutrient, in it. To much can cause high blood pressure and/or clog your ateries.
