Bonus Excerpt: "In general, medical research does not indicate that low-salt diets lower blood pressure (reference 3,4,5). It is easy enough to monitor blood
pressure, in any case, to see if any particular individual has a problem
with increased salt intake.
Adverse effects of Low salt diets: In one study of nearly 3000 hypertensive
patients, the group with the lowest salt intake had a 430% increase
in heart attack compared to the group with the highest salt intake (reference
6)."
