New studies show that reducing salt could do more harm than good,
Could cutting back on salt do more harm than good? Experts find it raises cholesterol
But researchers from the University of Copenhagen now claim that cutting down on salt can increase the likelihood of death in some patients with
existing heart problems.
Well, it's a rather stupid assertion to assume that the rise in cholesterol as a result of sodium restriction can increase cardiovascular death. But,
at least somebody is damning the even more ridiculous idea that sodium restriction should be prescribed to at risk patients.
