Never bought into the anti-salt hysteria. I have taken fish oil suppliments, though.

Ditto.

Been arguing the point longer than I can remember. Same for the egg-cholesterol dogma.
When something's illogical remember Occam's Razor.

I buy onto the “too much sodium” theory. I can feel it when I have had too much salt — the worst being soy sauce and MSG. So sorry Rush, I’m not behind you on this one.

i think for people with serious joint issues it may still outweigh the risks.

i don’t take it every day, I get enough fats ad oils from other sources.

Excessive intake of salt causes my BP to rise and my ankles to swell. It is a fact.

I do not think this happens with everyone, however. I am into my early old age now, so maybe that is why I have this problem.

As long as I avoid too much salt, I can still avoid using BP meds. So, I think I am doing OK.

Maybe so, but when I have more than a limited amount of salt, I hold fluids swell up so I cannot wear my shoes and since the first place we store fluid is the ears, I often get dizzy. I know too much salt is bad for me. It may not be bad for everyone. I will continue to be conscious of the amount of salt I consume. I like being able to get my shoes on my feet.

All I know is, back in the 50s and 60s you could get a chewing out if you failed to take your salt tablets every day.
