Questioning the Evils of Salt
Another
bit of medical dogma is being challenged by scientists, this time by a
Canadian researcher from Toronto's Mt. Sinai Hospital. He analyzed
56 studies and concluded that sodium intake has no significant effect on
a person's blood pressure. In fact, he found a number of adverse
consequences of restricting salt intake, including cholesterol problems
and disturbed calcium metabolism. Many doctors have long assumed,
incorrectly according to this study, that restricting sodium intake would
decrease blood pressure or that higher amounts of dietary salt would lead
to hypertension later in life.

Comment:
Over the years many individuals with high blood pressure have had repeated
Blood Test Evaluations. Most of these individuals have had a significant
lowering of blood pressure following the recommendations of the Blood Test
Evaluation. All were recommended to drink a minimum of two glasses
of the Health Equations electrolyte formula per day. This formula
contains sodium and other electrolytes. It corrects the ratios of
the electrolytes in the body. The electrolyte formula also improves
the calcium metabolism and function. Further, individuals with high
blood pressure have all been advised to eat "salt to taste" and those with
indications of salt deficiency on their Evaluation have been advised to
increase their salt use.
