How many of us would like our salaries paid in salt? Not these authors, for sure; but their opening chapters remind us with choice historical and biblical anecdotes of the economic imperatives that are mirrored in the derivation of the word from the Latin sal. Although the book is clearly written for the layperson, these opening chapters are instructive and entertaining for all readers. The book is an excellent and enjoyable read. The amateur who is satisfied with certainty will derive more from it than the impartial professional seeking a challenge. For the majority of doctors and specialists in hypertension who are prepared to accept that salt has a role in determining blood pressure, perhaps early in life, the book succeeds as an example of the precept, “First, do no harm.” The argument is also strong that in an age of spiraling drug costs we must strive to pursue non-pharmacologic methods of treating and preventing hypertension. Even the lobbyists, however, will wish to read this tract with a grain of salt.
