^^Exactly. ADDING salt is not usually considered Ital. But salt itself is.
Salt comes naturally from the ground in Africa. The women of Kibiro spend all day and all night gathering the salt Jah provides from the ground; as a way of living.
The problem is not of salt. We need salt and is naturally present, therefore Ital. The problem - as always - is Ma'at / Balance. Too little salt will kill you as will too much. Salt is present in almost EVERYTHING you consume whether Ital or not. Your Pituitary - Kidney homo-regulation will keep your levels under control. But if you keep abusing your bodies system of regulation you are effectively committing suicide. The same mechanism the body saves salt / or rids excessive salt is the same mechanism the body controls Blood Pressure, Potassium levels, Fluid and pressure within the Brain..... so if one has an incorrect Balance and the body is constantly focused fighting salt levels the health effects are quite obvious (Blood prressure, seizures, stroke and cardiovascular disease).
The key to remember is in most HEALTHY diets - even Ital - the recommended salt intake levels are reached, easily, and then some. So to think of how much salt a regular - Babylonian - diet would contain theres no wonder why Western society has such a health problem. Now to ADD salt to this diet, in babylon, is suicide and genocide until proven otherwise.
