If all life life came from the sea then why can't we tolerate salt water for drinking?

Answer 1

The composition of the sea salt is very similar to the one we have in our body - our tears are sea water, for instance - but, curiously, we don't tolerate it if the sea water is introduced in our body. Why? In fact we can tolerate salt water for drinking but in very small proportions. The sea water contains 70 X the salt our body can handle.
