More than a pinch of salt

This article in the Irish Times suggests that the advice to minimise your salt intake may be incorrect. The number of people surveyed was 100,000 and the study went on over nearly 4 years. This may be another accepted piece of dietary advice that may have to go by the wayside. Along with these:

• Saturated fat is bad
• Sugar is just calories - you will burn it off
• Plenty of sunblock to avoid skin cancer - your vitamin D levels will be so low as to need supplementation
• Eat plenty of whole grains
• Eating meat causes cancer

and now

• Keep your salt intake low

It can be difficult to know what to believe with so many conflicting reports, but the results that most LCHF dieters see speak for themselves. It is the only diet I know of that gets easier with time. Rather then the starvation ones we are more used to.
