Oh good grief. Another article mangling science into sound bites?<p>I particularly enjoy the seemingly wilful conflation with hyponatraemia (too low sodium).<p>&gt; European researchers publishing in the Journal of the American Medical Association reported that the less sodium that study subjects excreted in their urine —an excellent measure of prior consumption— the greater their risk was of dying from heart disease<p>Nobody has ever argued that NO SALT is the right idea. So of course people with the lowest output, people with hyponatraemia and knackered kidneys, are going to have other issues. Sodium is essential for neural function and osmotic control.<p>And the outcome of main meta-analysis in this wasn&#x27;t &quot;DO THIS INSTEAD&quot; it was to recommend conducting an actual long-term controlled study to see what the actual effects of sodium control are.<p>Either which way, repeatedly highlight articles that say &quot;EVERYTHING YOU KNEW BEFORE WAS WRONG: DO THIS INSTEAD&quot; just makes people give up <i>completely</i>. Especially when the meta-meta-analysis is as weak as this is.
