Both are over 90% NaCl
It's not the amount of NaCl. It's what's refined out (trace minerals) and what's put in (I forget what it is and don't have a container of white table salt to look at, but some additive is put in keep it from clumping; I put uncooked rice in my salt shakers with the sea salt to keep it from clumping and it works like a charm).
Sea salt may have more impurities like magnesium
Over 60 trace elements that our bodies need. I use Himalayan pink salt, and a brand called Real Salt that's mined in Utah. I also keep kosher salt on hand to put in the water to boil pasta and the like.

correct, they refine out all the good minerals in REAL salt and then add in anti-caking and bleaching chemicals as well as a tiny amount of iodine.
You need iodine but in large amounts and a separate supplement.
