I dont agree with the "avoid salt at all cost"

mayo clinic:

Your body needs some sodium to function properly. Sodium:

Helps maintain the right balance of fluids in your body
Helps transmit nerve impulses
Influences the contraction and relaxation of muscles

Your kidneys regulate the amount of sodium kept in your body. When sodium levels are low, your kidneys conserve sodium. When levels are high, they excrete the excess amount in urine.

'avoid at all cost' is to definite

[chrispghmuscle]

I agree, but some don't have the discipline to completely avoid it, so it may give them the thought to "cut back" this is just to get some aware of the issue with salt / sodium.

I understand your point and thanks for giving a more detailed reason as to way you should not completely remove it..
