This unbalanced paper focuses only on the research that stresses poor outcomes and ignores all positive outcomes. It is in the classic tradition of the century-old salt-hypertension hypothesis which has never been verified without resort to institutional bullying and public health politics. It is the poster child of bad science in the field of medicine. The majority of research in the past 10 years does not support population-wide salt reduction, based on morbidity and mortality data. 80% of the world's populations consumes between 2,500-5,000 mg Na per day. Those populations that consume outside this broad range have worse outcomes and lower Healty life adjusted expectancies (Hale), according to WHO. Kenya, the lowest consumption country is above the 1,500 Na figure. The very latest research by Titze and colleagues demonstrates the antibiotic role of salt and the new knowledge that salt is stored in skin makes ALL previous hypertension research, based on Ur Na collections moot!
