It appears that some of the recommendations on salt may not have been good for most people. I hate to say it but salt is another example of 'experts' jumping to a conclusion before all the facts are in. Sort of like the eggs are bad for you but sugar bomb cereals are good for you advice of a decade ago.

For years, researchers have been trying to answer the question: Is salt good or bad for people? And for years the answer keeps coming back that moderate salt consumption (2.5-5 grams of sodium daily) is not dangerous.
Cutting back to below 1.5 grams daily as recommended by the AHA, however, might pose unexpected risks.

Although moderate sodium intake raised blood pressure somewhat, it appeared to lower the risk of death from heart attacks. Very high intake of sodium, greater than 5 grams daily, was associated with an elevated risk of strokes.
