[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3896801, member: 63706"] So you don't trust the established medical industry, which I tend to agree with, but you buy into the its take on sodium? I have yet to find a source, which disputes the low sodium approach, that also offers an alternative suggested upper limit. What I've researched has simply indicated the lack of evidence for the harmfulness of sodium intake above 2300 mg up to 3x that amount. Presumably there is some upper limit at which regular intake would be unhealthy. The difficulty comes in when you consider the fact that your body can easily eliminate excess sodium through urination. It's like any water soluable nutrient. Vitamin C, one such water soluable vitamin, does not seem to have an upper limit to intake, because your body eliminates excess amounts. An article I just found referenced studies showing that people who consumed less than 3000mg of sodium per day were more likely to develop heart disease. The studies also suggest that people who already have kidney function issues and/heart disease are the ones who would benefit from limiting sodium intake, but the levels they suggest are under 7000 mg. Anyway, I'm clearly not going to convince you, which is fine. I'm of the opinion that everyone should do their own research and make up their own mind on just about any subject. You are the one who has to live with the decisions you make about your health. I like to offer information that contradicts common beliefs when I feel anyone might benefit from such information.
