A study published today from Consensus Action on Salt and Health suggests one in four people mistakenly believe rock and sea salts are healthier than table salt. The report discovered that the amount of sodium chloride found in gourmet salt is almost 100%, which presents exactly the same health risks as regular salt despite the 'natural' claims of the manufacturers.
Many chefs use copious amounts of sea and rock salt on tv, which may have led to people believing that it's ok to use excessive amounts when cooking. There is also a group who feel it's more fashionable to use these products instead of regular table salt and are needlessly spending additional money for essentially the same product.
It has encouraged fresh calls to continue reducing the salt levels in food, particularly processed foods, to help reduce the health risks
