Do you think Sea Salt retains Water?

They have roughly the same amount of sodium, so yes, I'd imagine it would. However, I think sea salt is a better option since (to me) the flavor is more intense, so you use less.

I have a friend that carries a small container of sea salt with her so when she eats out she tell them no added salt and uses the sea salt.

I was surprised the advantages when I just read this.

I love salt too! What you should do, is try to use more pepper instead of salt. Using pepper first and a little salt after goes a long way. and will help add taste without retaining water..

Also.. water, water, water... drink as much as you can if you're a salty eater.. it'll flush out the excess sodium from your body.. but you'll be peeing like madness.

Sea salt is essentially the same as any salt. There is no reason why it would be better except for its coarseness, which makes it harder to coat the food in the salt.

Salt isn't the devil, but like everything, it's best taken in moderation.

It is better because it contains trace minerals found in the sea (one reason we should be eating sea vegetables) and a little bit goes a long way, so essentially you will use way less sea salt than regular table salt.
