Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de â¨5⊠â¨days⊠agoi remain extremely unconvinced this is any better than people freaking out about fat back in the day.
You canât take population-level recommendations and apply it to yourself as an individual, needs can vary HUGELY from person to person and if you keep finding salt tasty then for all you know you actually NEED that extra salt to be healthy and reducing your intake would be bad. Thereâs no one universal amount of salt that is healthy.

No oneâs freaking out, just donât eat too much. Many, many packaged things have a bunch of salt in them. And in general, itâs good to be aware of.
Salt requirements obviously vary from person to person and depend on your activity that day (losing it to sweat) etc.
Youâre not gonna die from a bit too much salt every now and then.
But as all things: In moderation.
Just because the situation with fat was stupid (and, in my opinion, was because of marketing by vested interests to take the heat of sugar) doesnât mean all health science is quackery.
âToo much salt is bad for youâ isnât a radical take.
