Salt...I hate to say "I told you so"...but I did.

Going without is more dangerous that consuming *too much*.

"...unknown to many shoppers urged to buy foods that are “low sodium” and “low salt,” this longstanding warning has come under assault by scientists who say that typical American salt consumption is without risk.
"Moreover, according to studies published in recent years by pillars of the medical community, the low levels of salt recommended by the government might actually be dangerous."

Yup it can result in electrolyte disturbance which in turn can fuck with the rhythm of your heartbeat, and that can kill you.

"...“There is no longer any valid basis for the current salt guidelines,” said Andrew Mente, a professor at McMaster University in Ontario and one of the researchers involved in a major study published last year by the New England Journal of Medicine. “So why are we still scaring people about salt?”

Because progressive nutbags are hysterical about this sort of thing. They are also inexplicably and wrong-headedly terrified of red meat.

I can say, however, after dining at a chain restaurant, I feel like I've dined on a salt lick.

That's because they're trying to mask the fact that their food tastes like crap without it.

An electrolyte imbalance can cause cardiac arrest, however that is usually caused by low potassium levels.

The way low sodium levels kill people is by interfering with your sodium/potassium ion pump function. This can result hyponatraemic encephalopathy, causing your brain stem, which controls vital functions, to get forced into your foramen magnum of your skull. That results in the cessation of all vital functions and you die.

If you are healthy, any excess sodium in your body will be filtered out by your kidneys and you will literally piss it out.

The reason a low sodium diet can lower blood pressure is because hyponatremia lowers your blood volume, just as losing a lot of blood lowers blood volume. Basically, a low sodium diet lowers blood pressure by making you sick.

Agreed. The worst overuse of salt, imo, is in processed-packaged foods. One shouldn't eat those for the sugar and refined carbs, so the salt is the least of the potential issues.

Salt doesn't dehydrate, you loon. Unless you're wrapped up in it and hung in the smokehouse.

that right there was the main reason for the obesity problem, plus lack of exercise because of those electronics that helped in making our lives better. When I was a youngster, many moons ago.... I was outside until the last ray of daylight. Of course we didn't have all that fancy electronics like Gameboys, etc back then...lol

I have a bunch of brothers and sisters. When we were kids we were not allowed to hang out inside of the house unless the weather was horrible or it was after sunset. We were free range kids. There's a growing movement these days to get back to free ranging kids - but it requires a suburban or rural environment, imo.
