Does reducing salt intake increase cardiovascular mortality?
Overwhelming evidence shows that reducing salt intake from 9-12 to 5-6 g/d lowers blood pressure, thereby preventing cardiovascular disease.

Epidemiological, clinical, and experimental evidence links excessive salt consumption to hypertension; there appears to be no evidence that it is beneficial.

A further reduction to 3 - 4 g/day has a greater effect and there needs to be ongoing consideration of lower targets for population salt intake. Cohor...
