Miraenda Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 1. The premise that salt leads to hypertension has never been scientifically supported. On the contrary, studies show that a reduced-sodium diet leads to health issues. In one study, subjects consuming less than 2300 mg. (the recommended daily allowance) of sodium per day had significantly higher mortality rates (meaning a higher risk of death) than the subjects consuming 2300 mg. or more sodium per day. Per the RDA, 2300 is the upper limit not the recommended daily allowance. Compare https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK56068/table/summarytables.t3/?report=objectonly for the daily recommended intake for adults (1.5g/d or 1500mg/d) versus https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK56068/table/summarytables.t8/?report=objectonly (2.3g/d or 2300mg/d). Because that study now returns a 404 not found when clicking the link above, I can't look at it, but if they really did say 2300mg/d, then they are at the very upper limit recommended by the RDA.

AIL Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 When I go from a low salt meal to a high salt meal I will be more thirsty on that day. However, on subsequent says I am less thirsty. When I fasted and had no salt at all, I became thirsty way more often as my body seemed to excrete all the water really quickly. But isn't this just how the water-retention from salt works? Overall this seems to make a lot of sense and corralates with my observations. The making hungry part as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesannie Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Hi, As salt consumption increased, people actually drank less water. And the high-salt diets seemed to make study subjects hungrier, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
