Pittsburg, Kansas | When I was in highschool 1968-72 when in gym or after school sports there was a gallon jar of salt tablets that sit on the gear check out door. You were encouraged to take as many as you needed when sweating out salt.
Later in life I was taught to fear salt. Blood pressure thing. According to researcher James DiNicolantonio only about 10-20% of the population is sensitive to salt intake in relation to blood pressure. And even in the affected ten percent the effect is only modest. Yet this ten percent is what caused the "low salt" craze I have lived through most of my life.
For most healthy people, if they eat too much salt they just pee it out with no ill effects. Too little salt for most people is a much greater danger than too much. Research shows all cause mortality greater at too little salt intake much worse than the highest amount of intake.
We have been sold a bill of goods on low salt diet based on decades old expert opinion and medical dogma,. Not what the science on the subject actually says.
My opinion only based on what I have learned on the subject. Do your own due diligence.
If I run across the research and chart again I will try to remember to post it.

Processed or boxed food trends to have a lot of added salt for taste. If a person goes to a lower carb more whole food diet they may need to use the salt shaker more than they are used to because they unknowingly may also be reducing their salt intake.
