Is salt really that bad for you?

There is nothing wrong with salt. What people don't realise is that salt is one of the most crucial chemicals used in the body for regulation. Your body has gone through thousands of years of evolution to be able to fine tune the amount of salt it needs to transmit nerve impulses (both sodium and potium are needed in exact amounts). So, your body is so used to it that it can deal with the occasional extra salt on your chips without even noticing!! It is a crucial element to the body, not some poison as the Daily Mail would have you believe!
