Nope.

  The US recommended salt intake is limited to 1.5g to 2.3g grams of salt depending on some risk factors. Their 'low' intake was 6g and high was 12grams / day. https://sodiumbreakup.heart.org/how_much_sodium_should_i_eat https://sodiumbreakup.heart.org/how_much_sodium_should_i_eat So, I am saying almost 5x the recommended limit for a month might not generalize very well. Sorry, 'Nope' is not going to cut it. Further, the human body climatizes to various situations over time suck as heat or altitude, I suspect salt intake is probably good example of that.

    Nope. Try again. If you bother to read the study, this describes how salt induces breakdown of proteins and carbohydrates in body. That's in addition to other ill effects salt has that we are more aware of.

    A lot of the cross-talk in the whole salt/sodium debate is caused by conflating salt (sodium chloride) with sodium, one of its constituents. The US daily recommended sodium intake is 1.5-2.3g. The sodium component of sodium chloride is about 40%, so that's more like 3.75-5.75g of salt per day. Still lower than the study, but putting the higher recommended amount right around the lower study amount. (I consume up to an extra teaspoon of salt each day to make sure I'm getting at least 5000mg of sodium so I don't start passing out at an inconvenient moment, on advice of a cardiologist)

      Good catch. These are supposed to be limits not minimum recommendations. Also people get sodium from more than just salt so 5.75g of salt is still high and calling 6g low is kind of a misnomer.

  If you're wondering why you're so downvoted, your reply of "Nope." is at best lacking of any substance in a discussion and at worst offensive.

    OMG! Is that so?
