At least according to these people:
A consumer group sued the federal government Thursday, saying that salt is killing tens of thousands of Americans and that regulators have done too little to control salt in food

“If we could reduce the sodium in processed and restaurant foods by half, we could save about 150,000 lives per year,”
Why not worry and focus on something else besides salt?

Hmmmm- Salt also has it’s own benefits.
I like salt - a lot. I’ve even asked my doctor if the amount of salt I consume is healthy and he said yes - I drink plently of water everyday and have very very low blood pressure, so low that it acutally concerns him more then my salt consumption…
