Good information, but I do take issue with something.

They say kosher salt has no additives. Diamond has none, but Morton's does
have anti-caking additives. They blandly say that Kosher slat is used by
some Jews for preparing meat. Well? ? ? ? ? How about what preparation?
All salt can be kosher. A certain type of salt though, is used for
koshering meats. The flake of kosher salt, rather than grain of table salt,
makes it better for drawing the blood from the meat in the koshering
process.

Sea salt us usually rather pure, but there are some expensive sea salts that
contain minerals and give a different taste. I have no first hand
experience with them though.
