Have we got salt wrong?

Sorry, it's from the NYT.  The reason it's worthy of notice is the reason almost anything is, it's interesting.

If I pretend really, really hard enough, will salt no longer knock my blood pressure into the troposhere?

We're not sure salt is bad for you.

Do more exercise and then you'll be able to enjoy more salt without the supposed downsides.

I love salt.

The treaty or the Angelina Jolie movie?

[Darth Wagtaros]

Certainly not the movie.

I try to keep my use of salt lower but I'm not extreme about it. I don't have any health reasons to cut down on salt, just got in the habit. Some foods, like canned soups, have a lot of salt.  I still like them, Progresso soups for instance, but I also get unsalted soup too and I like it. I buy unsalted chips, and actually like those better than the salted. Not as greasy.

That too but I thought the really interesting point was that salt consumption's actually generally flat.
