Is it really that surprising to anyone that salt isn't damaging? Salt makes your nerves work. You need those to think and move. I remember learning in a run-of-the-mill high school biology class that the electrolyte differential in nerve cells <insert handwaving> creates the electric pulse to make signals. I'm having trouble remembering the details, but I remember that it was basically "If you don't have enough salt, your nerves stop working and you die. If you have too much salt, your cells retain too much water and you die."
