yay for you for reading those labels!
Yes, there is sugar in salt (amazing, isn't it?)--but only iodized salt. If you eat fish (and in Portland, I bet you do! ), you neen't buy iodized salt. Kosher salt is cheap and sugar-free ... good sea salt is expensive as heck (funny, isn't it, when there's a big ocean full of it just a few miles away...) and also sugar-free.
But you're right, it's a miniscule amount and will not slow weight loss. I called Hain, who does this with their "sea salt' (which isn't good seal salt, btw), and they explained it helps keep the iodine suspended and well distributed throughout the salt.
HTH!
