I think I agree with you about the quality of the science journalism here[1], but I thought the actual text wasn't as sensational as you're making it out to be, despite the title. I didn't read it as a call for completely reversing dietary policy on salt immediately. I think it was a call to end a crusade that isn't supported by a compelling body of evidence. It seems clear that better controlled studies are needed. [1]I spent a few minutes on google scholar trying to find the paper you called out (mostly because I wanted to know if the study actually entails hypo atresia--the linked article doesn't mention it). I haven't been able to find it yet. I'm disappointed that something published in Scientific American has such inadequate citations...
