Table Salt, Kosher Salt or Sea Salt Your Choice

After reviewing the differences between table salt, kosher salt, and sea salt, I have decided to leave it up to the research subjects to choose which salt they wish to use if any as part of their DDP experience. Table salts apparently have an anti-caking agent and iodine added to them during processing, sea salt has more trace elements like iron, sulphur and magnesium. Kosher salt can be either one, but it is not suppose to have any additives. I will probably use kosher salt or sea salt as they would lack the anti-caking agent.
