What If There Was No Salt in the World?

Cities have been named after it, economies have been built on it, wars have been fought over it, your life depends on it. Salt may be the most important, and the most divisive, mineral in history.

What is it worth to us today? There are more than 14,000 uses for salt, but to most of us, it only means one thing: high blood pressure.

Watch more what-if scenarios:

"Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it, we go nowhere." — Carl Sagan

Produced by Underknown in Toronto, What If is a mini-documentary web series that takes you on an epic journey through hypothetical worlds and possibilities. Join us on an imaginary adventure — grounded in scientific theory — through time, space and chance, as we ask what if some of the most fundamental aspects of our existence were different.

Salt can be used to compliment someone, "You're the salt of the earth" and food would taste bland without salt.
