Also, wondering why you focused on decades-old research rather than more recent (and more rigorous) assessments of the evidence? i.e. https://www.cochrane.org/CD004937/HTN_modest-salt-reduction-lowers-blood-pressure-in-all-ethnic-groups-at-all-levels-of-blood-pressure-without-adverse-consequences …pic.twitter.com/U6FXwWQF6E

Also, wondering about this argument? Seems a bit odd not to mention that most people died long before these disease would develop in the early 1900spic.twitter.com/zwQS1vTD4w

Clearly you epidemiology training was not strong on the electrolyte composition of blood, but it does not seem to hinder your tendency to make silly comments about a significant issue about salt.

So you agree that blood "evolved to be mostly salt"? While I don't have medical training, this seems to me to be something of a basic factual error given that blood is >83% water. Surely someone whose blood was, to quote, "mostly salt" would be in some medical difficulty?

Sodium and chloride are the 2 major ions found in the blood. If you removed everything but the ions you’d be left with mostly saline. Which is why when you resuscitate someone you usually use normal saline. I understood what he was saying.
