I agree. Their one relevant chart has seven items, probably cherry-picked to suppprt their narrative. One is sodium (Na), which is overabundant in modern diets.

- thaumasiotes 3y ago> One is sodium (Na), which is overabundant in modern diets. Sodium consumption per capita has remained rock-steady in the face of an intense demonization campaign. It doesn't really go up (as you might expect, if people develop food to satisfy cravings for it) or down (as you might expect if people pay attention to public messaging). (See e.g. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7042a4.htm https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7042a4.htm : > Mean usual energy intake–adjusted sodium intake among U.S. adults aged ≥19 years was lowest (3,333 mg/day) during 2003–2004, and was 3,464 mg/day during 2015–2016. ) This tends to suggest that it is not in fact overabundant in modern diets.
