I always assumed it was due to its preservative effect in food, but that isnt really true-its not necessary at all, it simply because people like salt, so products sell better. Salt mining is huge business, but thats because they process the valuable trace elements and minerals from it, basic table salt is a by product- industrial waste. People do need salt, but they sure as hell dont need purified salt.
Mmm, just in time for summer: The top five cancer-causing foods by: Mike Adams, NewsTarget.com, Tuesday, April 24, 2007 Hot dogs: The Cancer Prevention Coalition recommends that children should not eat more than 12 hot dogs per month because of the risk of cancer. If you must have your hot dog fix, look for those without sodium nitrite listed among the ingredients. Processed meats and bacon: These meats almost always contain the same sodium nitrite found in hot dogs. You can find some without nitrites, but you'll have to look for them in natural grocers or health food stores. Bacon is also high in saturated fat, which contributes to the risk of cancers, including breast cancer. Limiting your consumption of processed meats and saturated fats also benefits the heart. Doughnuts: Doughnuts contain hydrogenated oils, white flour, sugar, and acrylamides. Essentially, they're one of the worst cancer foods you can possibly eat. Reader's Digest calls doughnuts "disastrous" as a breakfast food, and many experts agree it's probably one of the worst ways to start the day. French fries: Fries are made with hydrogenated oil and fried at high temperatures. Some chains even add sugar to their fry recipe to make them even more irresistible. Not only do they clog your arteries with saturated fat and trans fat, they also contain acrylamides. They should be called "cancer fries," not French fries. Chips / crackers / cookies: These generally contain white flour and sugar as well as trans fats, but it's not enough to simply look for these ingredients on the label; you have to actually "decode" the ingredients list that food manufacturers use to deceive consumers. They do this by hiding ingredients (such as hiding MSG in yeast extract, or by fiddling with serving sizes so they can claim the food is trans fat free, even when it contains trans fats (the new Girl Scout cookies use this trick)... http://www.newstarget.com/021808.html
Sodium in the food is a salt? Ok, bottle of milk contains 5% sodium, if thatâs the salt, the milk should be very salty, but the taste is closer to sweet.
Wtf? Sodium, is......clarify terms here, "sodium" is standard for sodium chloride, table salt-i wasnt aware much more than that was available as a food additive, given its an expensive and volatile explosive, but the basic ingredients are there. You can have very high levels of artificial salt (sodium?i doubt) in many foods , they wont actually taste salty. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium

reasons we get sick 1) too many toxins in our body...( including prescription and non prescription drugs) 2) nutrional deficiencies..( chemicals hundreds of which some arent even on the ingredients list ) 3) exposure to electromagnetic chaos 4) mental and emotional stress this leads us to have our body out of whack.....

Yes, the sodium we are eating is a byproduct from aluminum manufacturing, and is very expensive to disposal, so they are adding it to food ,and we are eating it. Just look at us. Everything is backwards .Everything is upside-down. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the major media destroy information, and religion destroys spirituality.
