G'day mate
here's an alright thread:
i know salt plays a big part with water retention and can have a good effect on ur bodyfat if consumed too much
if its hurting you that much watch how many canned foods you take in and read ur labels, here are a ton of articles that others have suggested on the boards

Only worry about sodium if your in contest prep mode, or have a history of high blood pressure in the family.
nah its cool, i was just wondering why bodybuilders are so against salt.. i thought it was something like sugar that leads to fat if it isnt used as an energy source
Nah, they're only scared of it during contest prep, makes them look more bloated and less vascular.
Sodium is essential 4 life . . .
Sodium is an indispensible electrolyte our bodies can't manufacture. In fact u can die if u don't get enough. Very little danger of that w/ the typical American diet however, LOL!
As others have said, the issue w/ sodium is most always getting too much rather than too little, so its something we should be paying attention 2 in our diets.
The consensus Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) 4 healthy adults w/o fluid retention issues is 2400 mg per day:

We get enough sodium from the food we eat, it's in everything nowadays. So I rarely add any salt to my food.
as long as you drink your fair share of water i feel as tho a little sodium here and there is ok. i drink around a gallon of water a day and still take small amounts of salt on my food. personally i don't feel as tho im bloated or otherwise so all is well. i believe a good amount of sodium is 2400mg a day? i could be wrong.
also if ure cooking alot i find that herb blends is a great way to season without the added sodium of say seasoned salt or marinades.
