Salt doesn't kill you, but table salt does

There are things in this world which are common sense, and this one made perfect sense to me.

It goes something like this:

Salt is an essence of life, because in order for a human body to function, it is entirely dependent upon its conductivity and the ability to transmit information electrically.

Now, here's what we all are taught: Too much salt = cholesterol will kill you.  But, is that really true?

Your body needs salt and all the trace minerals in it, but now take table salt... the good stuff, trace minerals, are removed.  Also, table salt is not only salt, it contains all sorts of pesky stuff like little sharp sand pieces.

Those little sharp particles swim in your arteries and create little nicks all over them, at which point the body freaks out and sends cholesterol to correct the issue.  But, you keep getting cut up, what ever patches, has to be re-patched, and so on.  Now imagine what the inside of your arteries look like if you eat a lot of table salt?  The cholesterol just keeps trying to fix the issue, more and more gathers around the issue and finally closes up your arteries.

You end up killing yourself with table salt.

So. I do believe that salt is good for you, and table salt kills you.

Another note... with Fukushima spewing out tons of radioactive material every second of every day, and with what we have done to our oceans with the toxic junk we spill into it on daily basis, plus the oils spills, and I don't quite trust sea salt at this point.  I guess we're left with Himalayan salt, which is taken out of places that humans have not destroyed yet... and even that is a catch 22.
