I haven't read all the posts in this thread, but can say from personal experience as someone who once had pre-hypertension (Even though I was at a healthy bodyweight) while on a higher-carb diet that was fairly low in salt, I now have totally normal blood-pressure (by a wide margin) on an LC diet, even though I now eat LOTS of salt. I truly believe LC is MUCH more effective for blood-pressure normalization than salt restriction.

And as noted by the OP...on an LC diet ya NEED that tasty salt!
