and since when does it look like THAT? I once thought that salt was a bad thing and went on a low salt diet... with caused weirdness with my heart and super low blood pressure...92/52.

As you say, if your blood pressure is high... limit salt... otherwise, enjoy. It turns out that salt isn't really as bad for you as we've been led to believe:

Article doesn't seem to talk at all about cholesterol or carbohydrates - which, when not eaten in moderation, can also damage your heart, especially if you have Diabetes.
