All of y’all need to read “The Salt Fix” by Dr James DiNicolantonio, or watch interviews with him. No one’s understanding of the effects of sodium is greater than his.
His conclusion? High sodium is not the issue, it’s HIGH CARBS which cause the damage.
Ding ding ding! And if you look generationally, carb intake is the one thing that has gone up a lot since the 70s, neither fat intake nor protein intake has gone up much. However I also have some suspicions on the switch from saturated fat to more PUFA as also contributing to probs. After a lot of research, salt is one thing I took off my problem list and happily salt all my food to taste using iodized salt. ANd it's nice to have at least one thing that tastes good that does not need limiting. Although since I eat less processed food, I probably eat less salt than a lot of people.
