[QUOTE="DaveGrohl, post: 8190212, member: 3563"] Salt really isn’t a problem, unless you’re one of those hypersensitive to salt. Humans naturally consume around 12-15 g/day but the health experts have scared everyone into thinking they’ll die if the eat more than 6g. It’s all based around the idea that salt influences blood pressure and that is the only thing of any importance. The issue is that if you eat less than 6g per day then your mortality rate goes up compared to 12g. And the really daft things is that if you restrict yourself to below 6g then you may move your blood pressure by 1 or 2% at most. Reducing sugar consumption has a much bigger effect with other benefits alongside. The Australians have removed salt as a nutrient of concern from their health recommendations. So much of health advice is beyond bizarre. I’d link a metanalysis about this here for you but I’m away from my puter at the moment and so don’t have it to hand. Edit, here is one study to get you started, remember that sodium needs to be multiplied by something like 2.5 to some to salt amount.
