Hey guys and girls,
Just completed a big write-up I did about salt last weekend.
You might be interested in the read:
Why Everything You've Heard About Salt Is Wrong (Seriously) And How To Easily Manage Your Sodium Intake.
(Yes, there's a clickbait title because otherwise, I will not clicks from Google, which I need to survive.)
The article is 15,000 words long, so there's a lot of free content there.
I've basically been able to corroborate many of Peat's claims on salt and sodium, although I'm not as unanimously positive about salt as he is.
(I've also included a very short "nerd section" about Peat's work near the end.)
If you've got any comments or corrections of my mistakes, please tell me.
I've changed my articles before because of great feedback from this forum.
I'm actually beginning to see the feedback from posts on forums like these as a "peer-review" because it's very hard (if not impossible) for just one scientist to get everything right about a health topic in one sitting of writing - even if you go through lots of studies.
Enjoy and let me know what you think!
P.s.:
Peat's "diet" is one of the only diets out there that get the potassium part of the equation right. I make some pretty radical claims in my article, such as that pre-historic man probably had access to supplemental salt (an argument that is always denied by the low-sodium proponents, and the lynchpin upon which they base their entire faulty low-sodium recommendation.), and I argue that the consequences of a sodium intake cannot be understood without potassium (and chloride).
Again, enjoy!
