Clearing Up the Confusion About Salt

Excess sodium is responsible for most cases of hypertension, a leading risk factor for heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure.

"So why, you may wonder, is there any controversy? Shabby science, resulting in claims that is it unsafe to reduce sodium intake below 1,500 milligrams a day, is one reason, according to Bonnie Liebman, director of nutrition at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a health advocacy organization in Washington, D.C.
“Very few people consume so little sodium, and most of those who do are sick to begin with, so they eat less and consume less sodium,” she explained.
 “It’s a phony issue.”"
