it's really just a matter of pretension. sea salt is more expensive and is supposed to taste better; but it's all refined in the same way and the result is equally un/healthy. iodine and whatnot are good things.
i don't like the "it's natural" argument when used to defend purity and cleanliness. it seems to me that everything is natural and therefore - according to them! - a-ok. a human being is natural, afterall. we create and destroy, utilizing the naturally occuring things around us, acting in regards to our own programmed nature. is a city any different from an anthill or a tree infested with termites? nature devours itself in cycles. coca-cola is part of the plan.
