| Abstract/Notes | Salt is vital to nearly all living things and has been almost since the beginning of time. Men and other animals need common salt to help maintain a critical chemical balance in their bodies. The blood and other fluids that bathe every cell of our bodies consist basically of a salt solution of almost the same proportion or composit ion as that of sea water. Salt regulates the exchange of water between the body's cells and their surrounding fluid, which carries food in and wastes out. When the first vertebrates crawled out onto the land to stay, these internal saline fluids enabled them to survive in that strange new environment. Salt is necessary for life. Without it man and all other animals would die. | ||
