Thank you to Dr. Satin,
Thank you for digging into the data. It is almost impossible for someone to follow a diet with less than 1500 mg sodium. The DASH diet is well proven to help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of stroke or heart attacks, and many of it's key foods contain naturally-occuring sodium (such as milk-products). Certainly people can aim for lower amounts of added-sodium, but a blanket recommendation creates an impossible goal for most people. And of course, the DASH-sodium results are notorious for presenting a slanted view of the results, to further an anti-salt agenda.
