When my wife was pregnant 31 years ago, she developed toxemia in the 3rd trimester. She (and I by association) was put on a NO sodium diet. Not literally zero, but as close to it as humanly possible. It was *awful*.
And that was the wrong medical advice, the “experts” have since discovered.
For the vast majority of people, eating the amount of salt they want is no problem. Our bodies are marvelously equipped to keep a balance. True, there is a small subset of people who are senstive to salt, but that is not most of us.
The health nannies need to stop making broad recommendations on what they think ought to be. They all fear that somewhere someone is eating what he wants, and that doesn’t fit in with their religion of food abstinence.
