Analyzing the effects on health of a single nutritional item - salt in this case - in pretty useless IMHO. The more I read about nutrition, the more I come to realize that it is the ratio of different nutrients what is key to our health. Take Omega3 for example: It´s much healthier to reduce the content of Omega 6 in your diet than popping a couple of Omega 3 pills a day. This is so because our current diet has screwed up this optimal ratio [1] Same applies to salt: The problem is not Sodium, but refined salt, that has a mineral composition so unbalanced that makes Sodium problematic. Just eat unprocessed food. [1] Optimal ratio Omega6/Omega3=around 1. Typical ratio in western diets: 15/1 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0753332202002536 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0753332202...
