This might be not true (feel free to correct me) but I remember someone telling me about how we taste salt so strongly because it is a genetic advantage to be able to differentiate between salty and fresh water. That genetic link leads our body to be sensitive to the taste of salt as to warn our ancestors to find new water sources.
