Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

An oral dose of about of 12 g salt/kg body weight will kill 50 % of humans.

Thus, if you are a 57 kg female and you consume 680 g of salt, you have a 50 % chance of surviving.

A 67 kg male could ingest 800 g of salt and have the same odds.

If you use that much salt on your French fries, you may be in danger. It's time to cut down.
