More recent studies on sodium show people who get less than 3000 mg or more than 5000 mg of sodium a day have a higher death rate.

Still, our doctors say sodium must be restricted to under 1500 mg a day, if you have heart problems.

Sodium is an electrolyte we must have.

Some American “health” institutions are crazy.

Mr. mm is on a sodium restricted diet because of kidney stones. They want him to have less that 2,000 mg a day of salt.

I never heard before that less than 3,000 is also detrimental. I wonder if it’s actually verified or some other factor involved that they are missing.
