I watched a great Nature of Things episode called "Pass the Salt" [0] recently which disproved the myth that salt causes high blood pressure.
(It's highly correlated to alcohol intake, smoking, and poor diet in general.)
The data that inferred that salt was the culprit (there was none) almost makes it look like the tobacco/alcohol industries might have cherry picked it to inject doubt on what they probably knew to be true about their products.
Highly recommended watch!
