Think the jury is still somewhat &quot;out&quot;...salt sensitivity variations are difficult to test for...<p>It is fairly well known that reducing salt intake lowers blood pressure...that has been prescribed for decades, with proven results....<p>Modern carbs, especially those that are &quot;processed&quot;, very often have salt added...no doubt we get too much from modern diets....<p>Sounds as your dilemma is similar to that of humans from the past...which made salt valuable as an item for trade...
