AWESOME article on salt here. Few choice quotes below
My Take On Salt and Your Health
8-year study of a New York City hypertensive population stratified for salt intake found those on low salt diets had more than four times as many heart attacks as those on normal sodium diets—the exact opposite of what the “salt hypothesis” predicts.
Overweight individuals with high blood pressure who are at risk of diabetes may benefit from less salt intake, but if they also have adrenal fatigue, that may not be the solution. Clearly, everything needs to be individualized for the greatest health benefits. Making blanket statements that everyone needs to lower salt intake is ridiculous!
High-Protein Intake Requires More Salt, Athletes Too
