This recent piece, from another salty site, is also on this very same topic – and it contains some useful links.

If substantiated, this research study could have significant implications – in the practical, as well as public-policy, arenas.

Govt(s) impose a salt sin-tax as consumers sustain their individual salt equilibrium. Conclusion: new tax revenue for Govt(s) and new revenue stream for producers.
