Is Himalayan sea salt really better?

Hey guys. Was wondering... is Himalayan sea salt really more beneficial than regular sea salt?

Thanks Waterbaby! It's just so expensive...

Emtpdmom, what does "Bump" mean?

Thanks guys. I appreciate your feedback.

Also, Emtpdmom , thanks for the explanation "and" the bump.

Your dog is precious. Looks a bit like one of mine. :)

I have a chocolate lab, a shepherd/lab mix and a little orange mutt who was found in a box on the side of a road in Los Angeles. All rescues.

Isaiah, the little orange one who looks like your Trooper, is so mixed that we have no clue what he is! He's very cute, a little funny looking, and extremely intelligent. He's about 35 pounds... bigger than a chihauha with a longer body and long skinny, chicken-like legs. :) But he has a great smile and is soooo handsome in his own way. :)

Yeah, same with Isaiah. He has really bad separation anxiety. Before I realized that it was necessary to get him a crate when we ran to the store, we tried to make him a little place in the bathroom ( w/his bed, dish, toys) and he ate through the drywall of the bathroom wall. He also would pull the carpet from the floor when we were gone, etc. Now he's better with his crate, but recently he hopped it across the kitchen while we were gone and cut up his nose while doing so. It's not like we're gone for long periods of time either. He just throws fits when we're away. And when we get back, he "talks" very loudly (talking and crying at the same time, really) for about five minutes before he can settle down.

Could someone please explain "salt" to me? I thought salt was NaCl (sodium chloride). So how could regular salt (non-iodized, no preservatives) salt, like kosher pickling salt which is just plain NaCl, be any worse for you than NaCl which is harvested from the sea or the mountains? I REALLY don't get it, so what am I missing? (I so confused!) :-{
