The quickly quashed story has been how SALT standards have been based on no science whatsoever for the past 20 years.

Still no mention how potassium and water are the other 2 legs of the three-legged stool for all human life called the “sodium-potassium pump”.

American Heart Association quickest of all to poo-poo any thought or mention of changing the salt intake standards.

Most interesting missing is the proven science of how too LITTLE salt is far more deadly than a small bit too much salt.

I have seen my late mother in the emergency room babbling as if she had completely lost her mind, making no sense whatsoever. The problem was low sodium, an hour or so later after being given intravenous fluids to restore her sodium level she could carry on a normal conversation.

Any nutritionist worth his salt, any expert who earns his salary would recognize that salt is a valuable and essential nutrient.
