From the books web site:
“A leading cardiovascular research scientist upends the low-salt myth, proving that salt may be one solution to—rather than a cause of—our nation’s chronic disease crises.”
I have the book taking it on vacation to read soon… 51 pages of the book are references.

Travelling at the moment so don’t have access to my links, sorry. Will check when I get back home – though can’t remember what I read and what I saved.

Nature of many of those article was similar to what i have read for food colouring or for sweeteners like aspartame – some say they’re fine, others say they’re poison.

Thanks, any references that anti-caking agents are poison?

– salt (real salt, NaCl) is fine for you, we probably get too little (according to ADA), and it doesn’t increase blood pressure
– table salt (pretty much just sodium with anti-caking agents) is bad for you, it poisons you, it does increase blood pressure

I wonder if this should be more clear in the article? It reminds me of that article by Dr Jason Fung about the biggest nutrition mistake we have made – like just calling it “fat” without differentiating between good fat and bad fat, and all the problems that causes.

Same with salt?

Anyway, great article as always. Really appreciate your research.
