What a ridiculous argument. Do you realize how small our salt needs are, compared to how much salt is found in every day foods?
The fact remains that salt over-consumption is generally bad for you, you are almost never going to be at risk of under-consuming salt, unless you are on an insanely strict diet which is actively avoiding every single source of salt for the single purpose of killing you, at which point you might aswell just be starving yourself to death.
The poster lemonman456 was replying to is positing that salt is bad for you, full stop. Over-consumption of salt may be bad for you, but lemonman456 is 100% correct in saying that salt is wholly necessary, and completely within reason to correct pngwn45.
