>What is more likely, that the huge scientific consensus formed over decades is shitty pseudoscience or that the "dude who suggested eating 2 tsp perday" is wrong?
Well the "huge scientific consensus formed over decades" with respect to dietary fat and dietary cholesterol were both shitty pseudoscience.
Nobody wants your book James.
But that's because that one started politically by some vegetarian aid and a senator who was following a low fat diet.
Yeah but the position on salt stayed the same through all of that research. Plus dietary cholesterol is still not good and the official position is still to avoid it.
TLDR
I eat less salt I dont get bloated and feel like shit.
Sure, consume lots of salt if you are aching to have a heart attack, I guess.
>you don't need to add salt to your food, you'll get enough from just your regular food
What does this even mean? My food is my regular food.
This. After all the anti-salt propaganda there isn't even a lot of salt in normal food.
>Sodium potassium balance
This is a good point that I will look into.
Exactly what I said, there are trace amounts in basically everything and most grain/meat/dairy products have decent amounts of salt too. Sodioum deficiency is pretty much nonexistent. That said I still sprinkle a little bit over most things I cook because it does enhance taste a ton (which is why fast food often has shit tons of added salt).
I'm looking forward to all of these gullible clowns dying of heart disease and stroke in the coming decades. All of the retards who think that the connection between fat and heart disease is a conspiracy and that salt is actually good for you, I'll be laughing so hard as more of these buffoons drop like flies from clogging their arteries because they trust an article in the Daily Mail or some random blog over what every government and expert organization on the planet says.
