AFAIK salt has never been definitively linked to heart problems or high
blood pressure.
For years (I'm talking back in the 1980's) I was cooking low-salt food for
my mother because the doctors said salt would raise her blood pressure.
False! Okay, it taught me to use herbs and spices in creative ways. That's
a good thing

But the salt itself wasn't bad for her. And all the herbs
in the world won't make otherwise bland food (think potatoes and pasta)
taste good without a little sprinkling of salt.
