A few scientists from Yale University in USA and University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in Germany say that excessive use of products with a high salt concentration may cause the development of autoimmune disease.

Scientists want to continue to study the effect of salt on the body, and try to find a method to alleviate the symptoms of patients who suffer from psoriasis, by reducing the amount of salt consumed.
