Have the medical establishment got it wrong on salt for the last 100 years?
90% of the mineral content of your blood is salt, and yet doctors say that EVERYONE should be consuming only a TEASPOON of salt per day?
I started reading this book recently which claims that the dietary advice most governments/health organisations give on salt/sodium intake is drastically wrong.
Author is a pharmacist for over 10years with published papers on how sodium/salt levels affect the body.
From the book website:
>We’ve all heard the recommendation: eat no more than a teaspoon of salt a day for a healthy heart. But there’s one big problem with this: the vast majority of us don’t need to eat low-salt diets. In fact, for most of us, more salt would be better for our health, rather than less. (Not to mention, much tastier.) Now, Dr. James DiNicolantonio reveals the incredible, often baffling story of how salt became unfairly demonized—a never-before-told, century-spanning drama of competing egos and interests. Not only have we gotten it wrong, we’ve gotten it exactly backwards: eating more salt can help protect you from a host of ailments, including internal starvation, insulin resistance, diabetes, and even heart disease.

TL;DR the medical establishment, through confirmation bias and historical inertia, are recommending critically low sodium intake which has drastic effects on health
