In the article it says, " Adding salt to the diet of mice caused the manufacture of a kind of T cell already linked to autoimmune disorders." This is saying that the salt added to the diet of a mouse caused the manufacture of a T cell. If it does that do a mouse think of what it can do to us. The article also says, "Discovery of salt's role didn't occur earlier, the researchers say, because they examine cells on the basis of salt levels in blood, not in the body tissue where immune cells arrive to battle infections. Human trials to study salt's effect on autoimmune diseases are already in a planning stage" Since they are in the planning stage they don't know what it could do to the human's immune system. Since the salt did cause autoimmune disorders in a mouse, salt could possibly do that to use. Salt can trigger autoimmune disease if you eat a high dosage of it.
