Since salt has been debunked as a health concern (other than eating less than twice the recommended amount, which can cause huge issues), I have to take this article with a grain of, well, salt.

Can you please elaborate? Is it harmful to eat less that twice the recommended amount?

I know that when I eat a lot of salt, my blood pressure skyrockets and I swell up BADLY. I’ve had a kidney transplant.

If you’re perfectly healthy, moderate amounts of sale, maybe even a little more, are fine. If you’re not, and have cardiac and renal disease, it’s a non-starter. You limit salt and sugar.

Huge amounts of anything are generally bad for you - even water. It IS possible to OD on water.

Comment is slightly misguided.

Plus, you can TASTE salt. Just pay attention.

I don’t add salt to my food, in general, so I’m not sweating it. No pun intended.
