salt is not harmful as long as you eat it in moderation. too much of it can cause heart problem and high blood presure and things of that sort.

Salt in moderation is good but in excess is terribly bad, aside from all the problems mentioned above, you can have kidney problems from too much salt

http://www.salt.gov.uk/index.shtml

The Salt campaign has been created by the Food Standards Agency in order to reduce the amount of salt people eat. Too much salt can raise blood pressure, which increases the chances of developing heart disease and stroke. The site provides more information about how too much salt can affect health, hidden salt, myths, the daily limit, benefits of less salt, and salt consumption in babies and children. Other features of the site include a salt calculator, how to read labels, cooking without salt, history of salt, and access to a game (requiring Shockwave 8.5 or above). The campaign is supported by the Stroke Association and the British Heart Foundation.

Iodize salt (commonly known as table salt)  is good because its been treated with iodide to provide iodine as a nutritional supplement. but not much ooo

I don't think you've made any point. He asked if salt was good for him. Your answer shoulda been NO if you actually knew the consequences of taking too much salt. Don't you think telling him he can drink an ocean will cause harm in the future irrespective of his blood pressure value now? *sighs*

u are absolutely right, and as a medical student i should give better advice.  ok, well regardless of your health excess salt is not good for u.  everything in moderation.  even too much oxygen can harm u tremendously, so eat healthy, exercise often, and remember, water water water, always stay hydrated.

Salt is good, but too much of it can lead to deadly diseases.
