I also thought more modern research on salt is more nuanced than 'salt is bad for you'. I think the newer understanding is that salt is only bad for people who are 'salt sensitive', in which case it increases blood pressure. Many people's blood pressure is not affected by salt, and there does not seem to be a negative effect for those people.
