Salt in History Savage races have lived without salt, but history shows that wherever It has been obtainable, even at the cost of much time and money, men have struggled to obtain It. This Is probably more because of the zest It gives to foods, than because of Its own value as a food. The elements found In salt are usually present In sufficiently large quantities In the diet. However, the addition of more or less large quantities of salt seems to do no harm to the average person; excessive consumption may affect the assimilation of the food.
