Is there a doctor in the house??
It's possibly all the cups of tea I drink each day which, having a diuretic effect, neutralizes any influence salt would have in regard to water retention, although I don't really use a lot of salt on/in food during the course of a day.
The reasons for HBP are manifold; including kidney disease, and I can well 'take on board' the fact that a lifetime of moderate to high salt consumption could well have a negative effect on ones kidneys, leading, in some cases to hypertension.
