REJOICE: Eat all the salt you want. Scientists wrong for decades.

[Pixelated Porn]

Eating a lot of salt is good for blood pressure while not eating enough is bad for you.

Despite decades of being told the exact opposite, long-running scientific studies now tell us that salt intake does not increase your blood pressure.

In fact, if you do not consume enough salt, around 2,500 milligrams per day, this study says your blood pressure will actually INCREASE.

This is not a joke:

Consuming fewer than 2,500 milligrams of sodium daily is actually associated with higher blood pressure, according to the Framingham Offspring Study report, given today. The American Heart Association recommends consuming no more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium daily, equal to a teaspoon of ordinary iodized table salt.

High blood pressure is a known risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Hence, lowering salt intake is supposed to lower blood pressure and thus reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke. But the study found that supposition to be unfounded.

Moreover, the lowest blood pressure was recorded by those who consumed 4,000 milligrams or more a day — amounts considered dangerously high by medical authorities such as the American Heart Association.

How many of us remember parents and grandparents made miserable due to the Settled Science that told us salt would kill them? How many of us have made ourselves miserable with bland foods, awful salt substitutes and deprivations?

Pretty basic thing to be wrong about. Rather alarming in terms of what other falsehoods are being touted as truth.

 

[mushishi]

Man, fuck dem hoes, messing with my salt!

This proves scientists don't know what they are talking about when it comes to nutrition and has inspired me to eat more McDonalds

it like one step forward and one step back
this is a step forward---they corrected a wrong

now if we can get them to say that males are men and females are women...

It doesn't say eating a ton of salt is healthy for you. It says they found daily intake of sodium below 2500 grams increases risk of high blood pressure. The report concedes that consuming high amounts of sodium does correlate with increased chances of heart disease.

I remember my grandmother being on a low salt diet. My grandfather wouldn't do it. He said he'd rather die than go without salt. Same with butter. I had a boss who had a family history of heart trouble and diabetes. He was a little skinny guy. He was telling us about his meeting with the dietician. After she told him what he could and couldn't eat, he told her it seems he could eat whatever he wanted as long as it doesn't taste good.

You know those stories about the people who eat garbage and smoke a pack of cigs a day and live to be a 120 years old? It is because that shit is good for you. Bring back the transfats! I want to live forever!!!

Until there are really well-conducted trials that show this, I wouldn't put too much into what's reported in this abstract.

 

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

took my bloodpressure today
104/65 with a pulse of 52
cant beat those numbers, and i eat plenty of salt

You can find a study that proves any diet is good for you. You need to look at the source and go through the actual research before making any conclusions.

 

[Renard]

Falls in line with my personal experience. I was on a diet that happened to have little salt but I had dizziness issues. I read something about adrenals needing salt and re-introduced more salt, fixed the problem. But I think that the salt humans are supposed to eat is unrefined salt, which you buy in healthfood stores, not the highly processed table salt you get everywhere that doesn't exist in nature.

Also you have to wonder if the iodine content in iodized salt might be influencing the results. Most people are deficient in iodine, the amount they get from salt is their only source.

The scientific method is to observe, come up with a hypothesis then collect data to prove or disprove the hypothesis. It seemed to have taken way too long to finally study it and collect the data. I wonder how many people suffered needlessly or died because they didn't do the studies.

Similar studies are being done on saturated fats. Somebody comes up with something they decide is bad for humans and people jump on that and it becomes like a religion. No amount of scientific evidence can change those beliefs.

Not sure I believe this...May be trying to thin out the herd
