In trying to find out who the "experts" were on that site, I discovered that the site is hosted by a dialysis company. In trying to go to the dialysis company's website via the link on the site, I got

It appears to be pretty impossible to find out exactly who the experts are they are referencing with such glowing colors and what their bonafides are.
Yes, I do my homework as much as possible before swallowing whatever someone is trying to sell me.
thanks, this is the reason I research but I don't put to much into studies. Almost all have an agenda or a biased leaning. All one has to do is remember the research and recommendations from the heart association back in the 80s on what foods we should and should not eat. Many of what we were told has been proven not to be accurate or maybe what we are being told today isn't accurate but the 80s info was.
The salt generally referred to the underclass in ancient texts.
The Japanese generally outlive just about everyone else, but their diet also includes substantially smaller portions, fresh fish and more vegetables. Lifestyle choices play a big role as well. The same cannot be said for all Asians.
This one they've got pretty well locked in. Excessive sodium intake burns away your body's filter (kidneys) and sodium forces your body to retain more water to balance the sodium level in your blood. More sodium, more liquid to keep the % the same. More fluid and you start stretching all those arteries. The artery wall, once stretched too many times, has a hard time coming back to place, or comes back together imperfectly, allowing a spot of resistance. In that resistance, platelets can build up.....and that is where clots come from. Clots are what causes strokes.
Between Heart and Kidney disease, you have America's largest and most expensive diseases that are skyrocketing medical costs in this country. If you want to balance the budget and make Americans healthier, the solution is simple.
Stop making Sodium the cheap spice to be put in all foods at amazingly excessive amounts.
I worked for a Japanese auto maker for about thirty years and ate lunch with them every day. It was interesting to watch their eating habits evolve after they had been in the States for a while. Upon first arriving they would eat meals prepared at home,usually something centered around fish or noodles. Bit by bit they would learn to like hot dogs,hamburgers,pizza,everything the rest of us ate. And they love soy sauce on everything. Wasn't long before they started putting on weight too. Not sure if this proves anything but it was interesting to watch.

I saw something similar when I fell in love with Thailand back around 1987. At that time you rarely saw a fat Thai, and if you did, Thais would say, "Oh, they're Chinese" (and would usually be correct; sorry bout that, just a difference in attitude toward the consumption of food). After retiring, I lived in Thailand for a couple of years, and fat Thais are not all that unusual anymore. Not as much as fat Americans, but now not uncommon. Fast food and just an explosion of the availability of fatter and sweeter foods are, IMHO, the reason.
Just another reason why I make most of our food from scratch. You really reduce a lot of different problems, including sodium.

Its a well known fact that if you have kidney disease you want to avoid salt as much as possible as salt/sodium conspire to deteriorate your kidneys, its not a conspiracy theory,= https://www.google.ca/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=...dney+disease&*

If I have to buy canned soup or other packaged meals, I'll compare the lesser of two evils. Some items may list a lower sodium but then check out the calorie content.
Hubby has no real problem with high blood pressure so he sometimes forgets to rinse /drain beans when he makes his chili.
I've been contemplating getting that air fryer. Don't have a whole lot of shelf space.
I don't hardly ever use salt and when I do, it might just be a sprinkle on say, a hard boiled egg. Oft times will use the Himalayan pink salt. My fave seasoning is black pepper.
