The article <i>specifically</i> points out the scientifically demonstrated <i>opposite</i> relationship between salt intake and blood pressure than the one you have stated here. &quot;It is fairly well known&quot; is nearly always weaselspeak for unfounded opinion, especially in this case.<p>I&#x27;m tired of this from people who discuss eating habits, because personal changes are personal yet many people interpret them as scientific. If you argue about eating on the Internet, step back and understand that your experiences will always vary. Just own that it&#x27;s an opinion, and I won&#x27;t begrudge you an opinion. I&#x27;ll call it wrong, but I&#x27;ll let you have it. It&#x27;s your opinion.
