My doctor said to cut down on all salt.

Why?

Six percent of the population suffers from hypertension. Of those, half have
the type of hypertension aggravated by salt.

Salt does not cause hypertension.

Therefore, 97% of the population can consume, literally, as much salt as
they can hold. In controlled experiments, test subjects have consumed as
much as 25 grams of salt per day for months and months with no ill effects.

Ask your doctor again.
