[Alert] Another Low-Salt Diet MYTH

By Jack Taylor Posted May 14, 2020

Dear Turapür Today Reader,

For as long as I can remember, myths around low-salt diets have been hammered into our heads by the feds, mainstream researchers, and even your own doctor.

They practically instill the fear of God into you by saying even a little bit of salt in your diet is going to give you high blood pressure, heart attack, or stroke.

It’s enough to freak you out at the very sight of a salt shaker!

Well, wouldn’t you know it… the low-sodium diet police are at it AGAIN.

And they can’t wait to show you the latest ‘research’ out of Germany that supports their anti-salt crusade!

But I’m here today to give you the REAL facts about salt… and to tell you why you need to IGNORE that latest myth surrounding salt and your diet.

Researchers at the University of Bonn in Germany are claiming that people who consume a salty diet may have weaker immune systems… a great headline the anti-salt police can’t wait to shove down your throat.

The researchers introduced high-salt diets to mice first and found that they were more susceptible to more severe bacterial infections. When the study asked for human volunteers, the researchers gave them six additional grams of salt every day beyond the recommended amount.

They ‘found’ that the volunteers started showing signs of pronounced immune deficiencies.

But here’s the HUGE problem with the study…

Six additional grams of salt is nearly the same amount of salt that is in two average FAST FOOD MEALS!

Who in their right mind would eat two fast food meals a day and NOT expect health issues?!

And what kind of reputable study would base their research off of the salt equivalent of artery-clogging, preservative-laced fast food?!

I have no doubt that the low-salt crusaders are going to use this study to scare you (again!) into eliminating salt from your diet.

Sure, eating extremely high amounts of salt can be harmful… but eating too little is just downright terrible for your body.

A low-salt diet has been linked to higher LDL and triglyceride levels, and increased insulin resistance. It may increase the risk of death from heart disease, heart failure and type 2 diabetes.

If you focus on eating mostly whole, single ingredient foods, then there is ZERO need for you to worry about your salt intake.

Go ahead and add a little salt to your food during cooking or at the table in order to improve flavor.

And whatever you do… DON’T believe the hype around low-sodium diets.
