I have just read that pdf. The basic thrust of the claim is that the chloride ion cannot be separated from the sodium ion while in solution. This is demonstrably false, since a large proportion of the salt is used to make hydrochloric acid. This acid stays OUTSIDE your body in the hole between your mouth and your anus, while the sodium ion is taken up INSIDE the body and contained between the skin and the walls of the intestines.
There is free chloride in your body and this is used for the vital task of breathing via the chloride shift.
Secondly, there is practically no sodium chloride in natural, unprocessed food.

There is this statement Sodium chloride’s retention and excretion by the body places a large strain on kidneys and other organs, damaging tissue and raising blood pressure as the body retains water in extracellular tissue to dilute salt. This is the complete opposite of the truth. Because everyone's blood has the same salt concentration, if you have less salt your blood becomes too thick. It is in fact the lack of water retention which causes the most severe health problems in the western world. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK5 ... 0admission.

The salt is a drug PDF also says this... "However, as arteries lose elasticity with age, increased plasma volume from salt intake raises blood pressure. According to the INTERSALT study, the Yanomami tribe of Brazil consume no salt, and their blood pressure averages
only 95/61 mmHg, which does not rise with age". I can only note, with wry amusement, that
The AVERAGE LIFESPAN OF THE YANOMAMI tribe members is 29 years.

In my opinion, having a 29 year life span with low blood pressure IS NOT indicative that low pressure is a desirable outcome.

Strangely, the amniotic fluid which surrounds the baby at birth is made up entirely of urine with a sodium chloride content of 2%... does that indicate that salt is a dangerous poison?

Similarly, the most common invasive medical procedure is the insertion of an isotonic saline drip. Although i haven't got a link, I have read that this simple procedure save millions of lives each year.

I look forward to other comments.
