Talk:Low sodium diet

increase risk of death for systolic failure?

The article cites a couple primary sources to claim low salt diet might increase death risk for systolic heart failure patients. (Obviously that's true for anyone on a "no salt" diet, but low salt diet must be taken to mean something reasonable.)What concerns me is these primary sources are so recent (2013) and it's apparently not textbook dogma yet.76.218.104.120 (talk) 21:57, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Increase in Death Rates

Look again at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21735439
And in the Main Results bit read Salt restriction increased the risk of all-cause death in those with congestive heart failure (end of trial relative risk: 2.59, 95% 1.04 to 6.44, 21 deaths). We found no information on participants health-related quality of life.

You will notice this was a survey of experiments and was done in 2011

Just as someone is trying to get you to buy vitamin D, someone else is trying to reduce production cost by reducing salt input
The only trouble is that will make their produce unattractive so the only way is to force all of them to reduce salt input but that's zero sum and thus creates this value added market

Like magnetic bracelets in the 70's it may over time disappear

Milk

Milk is listed in both the high-sodium and in the low-sodium sections. An expert should decide which is wrong and remove it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:30A:C088:21D0:54DB:514E:9712:E1EE (talk) 17:14, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
