You are, innocently, spreading misinformation. This could lead some to give in to the temptation to consume sodium, which has a natural appeal to the palate.

Of course, I disagree with your statement. Regardless of what the health naggers are saying, I do not believe the evidence is there to say that consuming sodium, according to taste, is harmful to most people. Yes, there are a small group of people who are sodium sensitive, but for the average person, the body does an excellent job of regulating sodium in the system.

There are studies that “prove” every premise that anyone can devise. I do not think there are just as many studies that demonstrate that low sodium diets are harmful as there are studies that demonstrate typical sodium consumption is harmful.

It is not my intent to spread misinformation. I do believe in challenging conventional wisdom when I think it is warranted. People can research the evidence and make up their own minds.
