I do not doubt the link between salt intake and high blood pressure, and ultimate early death. What I was pointing out is that too little salt intake can lead to some pretty desperate situations. I've seen people almost die when their electrolytes fall too low. If you are working in an environment where humidity is high, temperature is high, and cardio is high as well, it is best to very conscious of you water and electrolyte intake. The generally true rule, of 'you can not take too little salt', literally falls flat on its face for people who are very active. People who live in tropical countries have a craving for salt, and this is often a natural bodily need to balance the body fluids. There are too many other factors effecting their longevity to really get a handle on whether salt intake in itself, and regardless of the excretion of salts, can shorten life. That said, I avoid habitual salt consumption, particularly when I am not working.
