What is it with the Sea Salt?

Doesn't it make you retain water just as regular salt will?

In my book, not really a huge difference. May be a slight difference in the amount of minerals and trace elements that are refined out of table salt. But it is slight and borderline to say the least.

If you are very active and sweat a lot (even if you don't) you do need some sodium in your diet. You shouldn't retain water if you are drinking enough water.
