I am now cooking with kosher salt--it has 1/2 the sodium of table salt. The things you learn reading magazines left by others on the train...
The reason you sometimes hear people say kosher salt is less salty is because of the shape and size of the crystals. You get less volume of salt per measure. So a tablespoon of table salt has more than a tablespoon of kosher, but if you go by weight they are exactly the same.
AgreedThat article you ready is not correct. NaCL is NaCL.
I believe that the size of the salt granule means that a tsp of kosher salt measures differently than a tsp of table salt, therefore, resulting in less sodium per teaspoon because the granules are bigger re: kosher salt.
