The war on salt/sodium is utter bullshit.

It came about because for many years there was little to do for high BP other than recommend lower salt based on very weak rise in BP after a high salt meal.

Now there are SOME people who are extremely sensitive to sodium levels, and of course the salt impact manifests strongly with advanced age.

But for folks without serious chronic diseases or 1% genetics, occasional high salt intake doesn't do much. You simply piss it out.

Yeah and as usual, if you exercise a lot (and hence sweat a lot) you can have plenty of sodium to replenish. If you rarely break a sweat, that's a different story.

Are we at war with salt/ sodium too? As if the russians weren't enough.
