270,000 references and studies implicating sodium's role in hypertension can be found on the National Institutes of Health.

Police from the Upper Mt Gravatt Crime Prevention Unit say the 21-year-old woman placed an advertisement on the site saying she was interested in buying a few iPhones.

CBS, you naughty naughty girl.

Cancer has no effect on healthy individuals either.

Was it also performed by people on the Salt Institute's payroll at one time, and what of the thousands and thousands of studies that have established a link? This is like global warming, you have 99% of scientists that believe in it and a handful that don't. The overwhelming evidence over many decades is that…

I just want the choice to by a whopper if there are no Burger Kings around and only a McDonald's. Come on DOJ, make it happen.

Perhaps DOJ will force McDonald's to also offer Whoppers and Burger King to also offer Big Macs?

If you ate more healthy, unless you purposely increased your salt intake from supplementing with table salt, your sodium did go down most likely. It depends on what you mean by healthy. What were you eating before vs. what are you eating now? Losing weight is also a factor in improving hypertension as well, but you…

There is ample evidence that high sodium intake has a programming effect on hypertension in young people, in fact there are thousands of studies, one of which from the American Journal of Medicine above references in this very thread. There are literally hundreds of longitudinal studies that demonstrate this. You…

I didn't realize that it could also cause other issues.

See another thread, that study was only a meta analysis of just 7 studies with just 6,000 young people and was performed by researchers that use to be on the payroll of the Salt Institute. It's one study, the other 10,000 say there is a link.

Contrary to popular belief, every major reputable study on the subject has found that high salt intake has no negative side effects, nor does it cause high blood pressure.

Except that was a meta analysis based on just 7 studies of only 6,200 patients. It ignored the other 100,000 studies that did show a link between sodium intake and high blood pressure. In fact, the CDC has pretty much said that study and the follow up was flawed. The defenders of the study were once on the payroll…

Wrong, there are approximately 270,000 references in the NIH database relating to high sodium intake and high blood pressure. Search the NIH.

I use to run 100 miles a week, I excreeded so much salt that my seat belt in my car was caked with the stuff [I use to travel to a trail to do my long runs]. It didn't protect me from high blood pressure as a result of sodium intake. It's unlikely to help you either, same with water. Sodium is stored in cell walls,…

There is ample proof that high sodium causes high blood pressure. Read just a couple of those thousands of studies I linked for your benefit.

More healthful foods automatically have lower sodium in them.

Perhaps you should read some of the 270k links from NIH.

"The study, entitled "Sodium Intake In Populations: Assessment of Evidence," confirms that there is no evidence substantial enough to limit sodium consumption to less than 2,300 milligram daily for Americans."

Link please? I'm 45, dropped my salt intake by 3/4's and lowered my blood pressure. I'm curious as to your evidence that salt isn't linked to high blood pressure.
