Salt: You Need the Right Kind

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2099/12/31/dangers-of-salt-restriction.aspx?e_cid=20120213_DNL_artTest_C3

Bottom line: "real" salt (ie from the earth or sea) contains oodles of minerals that support heatlh. Eating this salt is beneficial to health. Eating processed NaCl with added iodine is not as beneficial, but it still supports adrenal function and fluid balance. Ceasing sodium consumption can be destructive to your health. Don't listen too carefully to the FDA, whatever you do.

Just look at Japan.. they intake 3x our sodium [6000-10000mg daily] and they don't have as much issue with heart disease and hypertension.
