Not really. The articles talk about different sorts of effects of salt: The Scientific American paper is mainly about the link between heart disease and salt, which was basically scientifically shaky. The article we are discussing talks about different sorts of things that happen when we eat a lot of salt. It could be bad, sure, but it could be good when talking of weight loss. We'll see with more research.
- kpil 9y agoIt's been known to be shaky for at least 20 years, but that have not stopped various government health organisations campaigning for a reduced salt intake. I can give them that it's a complex issue, there are probably no adverse effects and that reducing the risk for stroke even on the margin could be beneficial - such as for those that have a generic invariant that makes them very sensitive to salt levels.
