I have read speculation that most humans have a high sodium diet and thus our flesh is “seasoned” by this in a manner that is attractive to apex predators such as bears and Tigers. That this may be part of why Tigers become “man-eaters” and require hunting and killing to make them stop. True?

I’ve never heard that but it certainly sounds plausible.

Actually, it's because human aren't as hard to catch as, say, a gazelle. (Maneaters by Peter Hathaway Capstick)

Sweat is salty, and I would presume high in sodium. Porcupines are notorious tor gnawing things that have been saturated in sweat.

Heck, I always use some extra Sea Salt when I eat roasted, human flesh.
