there is a lot of literature about how much sodium is too much, it's much harder to find minimum values: I personally due to health issues am on an extremely low sodium diet (< 500mg/day, usually around 400mg) and have been for over two years with apparently no ill effects, but then again my wife seems to not do very well if she goes under 1500, I guess we're all different (which would make it nice for soylent to come with separate sodium so that could be adjusted on an individual basis).

Is there? I remember reading an article a while back saying that all those claims turned out to be based on a handful of flawed studies, and that for healthy people there is no problem with any halfway reasonable amount of salt intake as long as you drink enough.
