    Two more videos which show not only that the scientific evidence indicates that a low salt diet does not greatly reduce hypertension, but that it also vastly increases the bodies production of triglycerides, angiotensin, aldosterone, cholesterol, and raises insulin resistance all of which are harmful to cardiac health.

    This is the link to the second video Why Salt does NOT Increase Risk of Heart Disease | Jason Fung

    eta: WHO report
    Effects of low sodium diet versus high sodium diet on blood pressure, renin, aldosterone, catecholamines, cholesterol, and triglyceride

    More on the issue of salt.
    Specifically Salt sensitivity which is another angle that needs to be considered.
    There is loads on this .
    Here's some recent research:

    Clue to salt-sensitive blood pressure found


    Clue to salt-sensitive blood pressure found - VUMC News

    various places talk about how to 'test' yourself to see if you are salt sensitive or not. There isn't an official test for it.
    There is also the argument that the problem is not too much sodium but insufficient potassium intake.

    It is proving so difficult to find trustworthy definitive answers on this.:unsure:
