You're welcome, I'm sure :-)
I must admit that when I skimmed it I seem to have missed all the good stuff
you guys are finding.

The point I most noted was the claim (claim) that the NaCl content in
seawater solids was around 98% and in refined salt it is about 99.9% - the
balance being made up by trace, and not so trace, elements which are removed
along the way.

As Jinx so kindly points out, odds are that one gets enough of most of this
from other sources. (When you have to rely on your salt intake to provide
trace nutrients you are probably in deep trouble).

While you are all at it, try searching  on "whole grain". My wife's job is
to rate the quality of medical research papers. She brings home interesting
papers of potential relevance to our longevity and health. It seems that
whole grain really does have demonstrable / statistically significant
effects on health compared with refined grain products (just like granny has
been trying to tell us all these years). Sprinkle it with sea salt before
eating and you never know ....
