In the UK (and I expect the medical advice is the same the world over), the recommendation is that adults should eat no more than 6g of salt a day: that's around one full teaspoon. Children should eat less.
Remember, it is no so much the salt that YOU add from the salt shaker that is the problem. It is processed foods that contain huge "hidden" amounts of salt. For instance it is reported that a:
KFC Variety Meal (three chicken pieces, two hot wings, Colonel's Crispy Strip, regular fries, regular Diet Coke) contains 6.3g of salt.
McDonalds Quarter Pounder with Cheese Meal (quarter pounder burger with cheese, medium fries, medium coca cola) contains 3.2g of salt.
and 1.75g of salt in each 100 grams of Kellogs corn flakes - 1.1g of salt per 100g of bread.
As you can see it is possible to exceed the recommended limits without even knowing you are doing so. The fact is that salt makes food taste good.
