I don't know anything about the salt eating habits of early humans but my
mothers dog sometimes drinks seawater. Her house is no more than 5 meters
from the coast.

I try to avoid salting my food. Instead I sometimes drink and enjoy
saltwater that I've made myself by mixing seasalt from local health store
with filtered tap wat
er. I've had the thought of drinking seawater directly
from some clean area but I haven't done it so far.

I've read a lot of messages about salt on this list but haven't come to any
conclusion yet whether it is healthy or not to consume it. So I follow my
instinct.
