That last thing about the effect of salt is something that has been bugging me for a bit. My understanding (at this stage, due to my lack of knowledge, it's more of an opinion, really) of this is that salt consumption slightly and temporarily raise blood pressure, but in no common measure to what an actual high tension is. But I have no real way to experiment with it.

Just listened to this podcast the other day from a preeminent researcher who studies this. Had some new to me information. Have a listen!

- refurb 7y agoSome people have sodium-sensitive hypertension. They eat excessive levels of salt and there is a measurable increase in blood pressure. For most people, the body's normal processes handle the extra salt quite well, it's simply excreted. Blood pressure impact is minimal. Where it can have a big impact is in people whose normal sodium handling processes are dysfunctional. A good example is congestive heart failure - poor cardiac output leads the body to increase blood pressure (by retaining more fluid) to compensate. Sodium intake can have a big impact in these folks.
