Actually, there is a discussion. South Korea, Norway, France, and Japan, largely with a vegetarian diet, are among the countries with the highest salt intake in the world. But among these same countries, heart problems are lowest, and BP risk is lowest. So there is some confusion here, isn't there? Why do we need salt in the first place? If we reduce our salt intake, what happens to the body? Sodium and chloride, salt, are necessary for our body, our muscles, our nerves, and every hormonal signalling process.
