Salt isn't necessarily bad. It is a nutrient that you need to live. The problem is that most western diets have too much salt, so we don't need to add salt to our food. Even excess amounts of salt doesn't hurt most people, but in some people it causes fluid retention and increased blood pressure, which can have some serious side effects.
