I was hospitalized for syncope (causes random blackouts
when standing due to sudden blood pressure drops)... among other things
my body was
losing salt. The politically correct hospital dietitian placed me on a salt-free diet until my cardiologist finally got their attention. In reality excess salt is fairly easy for the body to get rid on.

Thanks for the mention. I hadn’t heard of that. It just bugs my how these busy-bodies want to micro-manage our lives. It’s got to be some sort of mental illness when it reaches this level of involvement.

Glad your doctor stepped in to set the dietitian straight.
