However, I do remember reading an article that said that salt didn’t have much to do with high blood pressure.

Who knows what to believe anymore.

Could be. I have a sodium defficiency and I have high blood pressure.

Some people are more salt-sensitive than others. This occurs in other mammals as well. For example, the Dahl Salt-sensitive rat develops very high blood pressure on a high-salt diet, but the Dahl salt-resistant rat does not. Control of blood pressure is complex, and although several specific causes for high blood pressure in humans have been identified, the mechanisms causing high blood pressure in most people remain unclear.
