I did, and she would insist on crackers. I have to draw the kink line somewhere.

Re: Politicians vs Science; the Surreal War on Salt
When I went out to Corfu to see my dad the first time after my heart attack I stuck to the (lower) salt intake I'd been advised to take by my doctor. It nearly killed me.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

In seriousness or you mean it sucked?
Sometimes lowering sodium intake CAN be a good thing.

Yes I'm serious. After two days I felt ill. After three even more so. Pater advised me to have much salt as I wanted and I got better.

I feel smug that once again this sort of crap can be disproved.
Re: Politicians vs Science; the Surreal War on Salt
The body needs salt. The bigger you are or the more you sweat, the more salt you need. If you unintnetionally go without salt for a week, you will eventually get the urge to lick your own toes and you won't know why.
Anything in excess is bad. Following the standard RDA of sodium intake is not that hard. If you eat something salty for breakfast, then skip the salt at lunch and dinner.
Sodium does, however, cause an immediate spike in blood pressure and heart rate (along with excessive fat), so if one already has problems one should avoid large doses.

Re: Politicians vs Science; the Surreal War on Salt
Everything you need is dangerous in too high levels. What makes it tricky is in deciding on what's too high or not. Low salt intake while sweating a lot is a bad idea, but that doesn't say much about the intake sweetspot when you're not in a hot climate.
Rory, has things changed from before? I know that my uncle was to cut down on salt when had a high blood pressure and that they recommended potassium cloride instead of sodium cloride. But that diagram got nothing about sodium, only cloride and potassium. New research or simply something not put up on the graph?

Really you got sick on holidays and blame lack of salt, is it not more likely you were just not used to it.

NaCl is Sodium Chloride.
Re: Politicians vs Science; the Surreal War on Salt
Yes. And the Na+ ion is missing afterwards. They only talk about Cl-.
