Yeah, I thought this was well documented. Societies with very low salt intake have low blood pressure, like tribes in the Amazon. Societies with high salt intake have high blood pressure (an area of Japan comes to mind). Lowering an individual's salt intake lowers blood pressure. Now, the salt you put on your food constitutes something like 10% of total salt intake. You need to avoid foods with high salt levels, and these days that's almost everything.
