This rat study used an absurdly high salt concentration; no human food is anywhere close to that, and if a human did try to eat that much salt, they would die of dehydration or damage their kidneys. But, predictably, this study will be used to generate headlines implying that salt is bad for humans, in ordinary contexts. Paste the paper title into Google News, and there they are. I believe this was likely the paper authors' intent, and that this is a high-prestige form of pseudoscience.
