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

Recommend any place to get info on the potassium sodium connection you mention?
Any nutritionist worth his salt, any expert who earns his salary would recognize that salt is a valuable and essential nutrient.
