Thank you for posting this. I’ve read numerous studies coming out of medical journals in the last 6-9 months that have disproved “healthy eating” theories from the 70s and 80s. Salt seems to be the latest victim of the junk science back then. I’m hoping to see some new evidence to support salt as well as to finally cast sugar in the proper light as the biggest problem with our society’s eating habits over the last 30 years.
For healthy people Rarestia, it probably is junk science. You body requires a set amount to function.
1500 mg of sodium equals about 3/4 teaspoons or 3.75 grams of salt per day is what the human body requires per day. I find that TO LOW. 2500-3000 mg is about right. Try putting salt on the top, it gives the taste your body likes, with out the entire dish being over salted.
Just like Cholesterol This is a NEW study.

It’s been suppressed.
That food chart needs to go in the trash can. Carbs are the least; not the most you should be consuming. As long as there are big Bucks $$ to be made in diet foods, diet products, cholesterol drugs, BP drugs etc, you are not going to see much change.
It is hard to convince people that a CABS and sugar basically equals the same thing to your body. Cut the carbs you start to drop weight. This includes high sugar fruits. The use of a cross of type 2 diabetic and Paleo diets seem to work out the best.
We have forgotten the word MODERATION. In a SUPER SIZE that world.
Yet I still miss my granny’s lard and buttermilk biscuits and she has been gone over 30 yrs.
