Scientists can’t agree whether salt is killing us

It seems to me that in otherwise healthy people, they are able to deal with excess salt by getting rid of it, but when people have issues they are unable to do so as efficiently and that's when salt is bad.

At least the we can all agree that salt is good for our passwords.

The fact that you can eat a lot of salt, with out instant harm , always makes people think twice on reports like this . Same is true with sugar reports and fat as well . So what is this a vegan conspiracy to make us all go veg ! Unlikely , but consumers should Recognize that consumption not in moderation will lead to unwelcomed results . Try This rule as an example , many people like olive oil , many people say eating lots of olive oil is good for you . No one equates this as drinking a pint of olive oil as a good idea , nor eating 1/7 of that a day for a week . The bigger issue with this study is how pervasive doctored food has become . Yesterday Bloomberg news had a story how Parmesan and other grated hard Italian cheeses have become regularly doctored with wood pulp as a filler . Once wools pulp tastes like well , wood , one would expect salt to be added t this product to cover the wood content . A similar analogy can be made with regards to olive oils . Many providers filter and treat lower quality oil to make it appear as a higher quality product . It's not as bad as Chinese "Gutter Oil" but the fact that we have food health studies with out super strict food quality enforcement, in my humble opinion leads the biased reports or studies with flawed data .

Emotional titles grate me this not so much. I hate the You will be Amazed when ...

I think I highly prefer to read "Scientist can't decide" because that means there is an interesting story/data to look at normally. I also find it a lot more honest then saying "Scientist" when there is equal amount of doubt in an article.
