The Light newspaper published a letter from someone who claimed that the advice to limit our salt intake is a conspiracy intended to cause us health problems that benefit the medical profession. The letter claimed that we need at least 12 grams of salt a day ... claiming that Japanese fishermen consume this amount and stay perfectly healthy. It is a fact that there are fishermen in Northern Japan who do consume this amount of salt ... and are apparently healthy.
At the other end of the scale there is an Amazonian tribe that only has a salt intake of one tenth of a gram a day ... and they stay healthy.

And, some Nepalese (& JoG) breath comfortably where most of the rest of humanity would be collapsing with altitude sickness. |

Good to see one or two members are warming to the content of The Light … a badly needed independent newspaper for the UK … tackling important topics the UK MSM are bullied to stay well clear of? thelightpaper.co.uk/I got a brief taste this paper existed strolling through the Middle Class shires of Nantwich 3 months ago. … worth getting a copy … like some GB News content … it represents the values and concerns of most TRUE loyal British Citizens … gaining more traction, traffic and support daily for those that have the intellect to break out of their BBC/Daily Mail/.Gov programming. …. Ironic and unsurprising that Wikipedia brands the platform “Far Right and Conspiracy Theorist” when it’s writers and content seems well-researched, more serious and FACT-based than most Fleet Street and Wapping content… where the Western lies get more Wapping daily! 🤣 (Since when was Nantwich a hotbed of the Far Right? … 🤣) Check the Link above … and judge for yourselves … the copy I read was pretty well done … and a higher standard of writing than most tabloids deliver from cover to cover. Remember … Wikipedia is afloat thanks to donations from ex-Nazi George Soros and the Bloomberg Posse … “who pays the piper calls the tune” … and now they try and stifle alternative news sources in order to peddle extreme Far Left National Socialist anarchist agendas on all matters political and totalitarian … take their extremist opinions with a pinch of salt! |

Why do you call Soros an "ex Nazi"? He was a kid during WW2.
He was only 15 when the war ended.
The man is a grade a bastard, a greedy scum sucking pig, but he was never a Nazi.

Before globalisation there were known disease risks for most advanced nations.
Japan had the most strokes, this was put down to too much sodium in the diet.

He admitted in a 60 Minutes interview that he was a teenager who helped a pro-Nazi go around asset-stripping the properties of Jews fleeing Nazi persecution … these assets were used to support the German war effort and Nazi interests … and the Third/Fourth Reich Agenda to secure World Domination. Unless you are claiming Jews (like Zelenski - as a bad example) have never had Nazis leanings or associations … and rolling out Totalitarian Fascist war-mongering anarchist Agendas has never been in their DNA … good luck defending that point …. case proven. youtu.be/YeThpbBGNQ8?si=l1vmF0o-R4ez1HD1There were many Jews in Europe hiding their identities and learning how to survive WW2 … not many took Soros’s route towards destroying communities and Countries. … meanwhile, back on topic … Sid the Slug says rolling in salt was bad for his health. 😋 |

Despite a high salt intake most people's blood (serum) sodium levels are within the normal range. This does not mean that the salt is not causing health problems as it can build up in the body cells and cause fluid retention. This fluid retention can be corrected by drinking more water ... which flushes out the salt and allows the retained fluid to be released. High salt intake combined with a low fluid intake is a common health problem. The official US recommendation for daily fluid intake is 3.7 litres for men and 2.7 litres for women. www.allrecipes.com/article/drinking-enough-water/#:~:text=The%20signs%20you%27re%20drinking,comfortable%20digestion%20(less%20heartburn). A casual look at the online advice about how much water we need often gives the impression that a mere liter and a half is all we need ... which is not the case if we have a taste for salty foods! One theory I have is that many people are mistaking thirst for hunger and are eating excess food when they really need to drink more fluid and less food. It used to be the case that in most towns there were free public water sources "all over the place" .. almost all of them were turned off during the 1976 prolonged drought. How to keep down obesity ... make available free water outlets (and publicise them on street signs). Keep people out of the cafes and fast food outlets. Limit the number of cafes and sources of takeaway foods to how they used to be (where I was brought up there were just two cafes in a mile long high street). |

At the other end of the scale there is an Amazonian tribe that only has a salt intake of one tenth of a gram a day ... and they stay healthy. The real issue is that our knowledge of our physiology is very limited indeed. There may be types of diet and lifestyle in which eating a large amount of salt is healthy and there may be others for which it definitely isn't. The same is true for the various distinctions between various hereditary groups and their different physiology Evolution sorts these combinations out with deep time - ie a high (or low) salt intake diet works with a complex combination of adaptions and environment, which are the ones that are successful. My general advice is to eat something close what your ancestors ate - but that ignores environmental factors like calorie expenditure - ie we don't have the same lifestyle |
