Gee, thought this was a case of ‘settled science’...
It’s getting very, very difficult to figure out what to believe anymore, in just about any walk of life.
a growing chorus of medical and nutritional experts has begun to push back on that claim.
“We have been stuck in a time warp with this advice,”

Global warming?
We’re supposed to believe politically driven “science” on climate change, when they still cant figure out the salt issue??
from the article:
Nissen pointed to several recent studies that chip away at the American Heart Association guidelines calling for people with high blood pressure to limit their salt intake to no more than 1,500 milligrams daily.
One such study was published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2011. Examining the sodium intake of nearly 30,000 people, Irish researchers found that those with a very high intake of salt — 6,000 to 7,000 milligrams daily — were at higher risk for cardiovascular problems such as heart attack and stroke. But they also found that those with low salt intake were equally at risk.
This finding is important because it raises questions about whether someone with an average American intake of about 3,000 milligrams of sodium a day would benefit from making any reduction, Nissen said. More and better investigations should be done to determine if someone with high blood pressure would be helped or harmed by the current recommendation, he added.
Pass the sea salt please.
