Indications are that you might
live longer if you aren’t “worth your
salt.”
Dr. Harold W. Wolf, head of the
environmental engineering division
at Texas A&M University and a
member of the National Drinking
Water Advisory Council, says that
salt in man’s diet ought to be
studied as a possibly severe contam
inant or natural pollutant.
“High blood pressure is unknown
in primitive uncultured societies
where salt is absent in the diet,” Dr.
Wolf said. “So salt may be a very
potent environmental dietary fac
tor.”
Man has no requirement for salt
beyond what is in natural food
sources. Civilized man is the only
animal who habitually uses 20 to 30
times his daily requirement of salt.
Scientists have said that domestic
water supplies containing 110 mil
ligrams per liter or more of sodium
would place in jeopardy all resi
dents who have confirmed or incipi
ent congestive heart disease, hyper
tension (high blood pressure), renal
disease or cirrhosis of the liver.
A&M researchers in Dallas were
able to show a rise in all categories
of heart-disease deaths coincidental
with a drought period during which

highly mineralized water from the
Red River was imported for con
sumption, Dr. Wolf noted. “The
high death rate persisted for a year
following termination of water im
portation.”
This problem is compounded by
the fact that sodium content in
drinking water in the range of 100-
200 mg/1 and greater impairs the
salt taste acuity of the drinker who
may then unwittingly use more salt
in their diet.
“Persons at risk should not con
sume water with a sodium content
greater than 20 mg/1 and since these
individuals can’t identify themselves
it is only prudent to limit all drinking
water sodium concentrations to this
level,” Wolf continued.
“For most of the water supplies in
the nation such a limit would pose
no problem, but some supplies
would require demineralization,”
he said.
For example State Department of
Health Resources data show the
sodium contents of the water in Col
lege Station is 175 mg/1, Bryan is
194 mg/1 and Calvert is 327 mg/1.
Addiction is commonly thought of
in connection with drugs, alcohol
and cigareetes, but salt may be as
addictive as any of these and far
harder to deal with. It is an addic
tion easily acquired. Primitive
people who at first don’t like salt be
come addicted in a matter of two or
three days according to researchers.
