You may have been misled by my autocorrect. I meant &quot;tautology&quot; not &quot;totality&quot;. Saying that &quot;too much&quot; is bad for you will always be true because by definition &quot;too much&quot; is more than you should have. The problem is that, in nutrition, we usually don&#x27;t know how much is too much (outside of absurd levels that aren&#x27;t commonly reached).<p>We know that reducing sodium may be harmful. It&#x27;s possible that attempting to reduce sodium below what the average person consumes may be harmful (or may be harmful for some portion of the population). We don&#x27;t know what is the &quot;ideal&quot; level or range of sodium.<p>So, yes, it is true that &quot;too much&quot; sodium is bad for you, but we don&#x27;t really know how much is too much, or even if the amounts that people eat today are actually too much for the typical person.
