Salt is okay, apparently

For years, we have been told that we have to reduce our salt intake or die of the effects of high blood pressure. Surprise! That ‘link’ between salt and blood pressure was created by a doctor who wanted it to be true! And, in fact, not having enough salt in the system can lead to obesity, heart disease, kidney failure, diabetes and loss of libido.
    Not to mention the fact that food tastes better with a modicum of salt anyway, proving that we are build to handle NaCl, as it is known in the trade.
