Is seasalt or mineral salt better than ordinary salt? Or is it just a hype?

However from my experiences eating any type of salt is significantly better than eating no salt at all. Especially if most of your diet is liquid (Milk and OJ).
When I first tried eating ray peat at beginning of this year I had a mostly liquid diet with lots of sugar but no salt as I was waiting for my canning salt to be delivered. My body temp and pulse dropped like a stone and I felt terrible. I later found out this is because I left out salt. Once salt was back in my diet (up to 10000mg some days) my body temps and pulse rose very quickly and I felt a hell of a lot better.
If I am not able to hold of any canning salt, for example when I am travelling, I have found that white sea salt is the best alternative and any pink or colored salt is the worse.
Danny Roddy has also experienced this when starting a peat diet

Ray peat wrote an article on it if anyone wants a detailed analysis of salt.

MyUsernameHere said:All the salt sold in my country (Croatia) simply says "Iodized" right on the package, so I would assume if yours doesn't then it likely isn't iodized, but of course I can't be sure.
I've heard that too much iodine causes you to go hypo as well as too little, so I don't know which side I'm on but it seems from reading this topic that e.g. in the US most salt is not iodized, at least not sea salt. Since the situation is different here I'm not sure what to do.

I also use the Morton's Canning Salt.

One whole tablespoon? Dang! I can stick four or five pinches of salt in a glass of oj but if I drink it too fast I get nauseous. I'd like to work my way up to getting a therapeutic level of salt. I saw someone mention here that they use 3 tablespoons a day. I guess that would be considered a therepeutic level?
