That's funny. 'Disingenuous' would be posting an article with the header 'Salt is now good for you', and then offering this garbage.
Wow. If I didn't know better, I'd swear Cawacko hacked your account. You post a fable about current guidelines being some sort of conspiracy by the scientific community. Said article then cites current guidelines as a good idea for those with high blood pressure.
Further, the author sets up a strawman about salt leading to increased intake of water, which is what causes water retention. He attacks that strawman with all of his might, in an attempt to avoid having to admit the obvious.....sodium causes the body to retain water. Anyone who took science in high school is intelligent enough to do the research necessary to learn that drinking water is a great diuretic.
It is virtually impossible to avoid sodium in today's world of fake foods. Nobody is walking around with a sodium deficiency.

Water is not a diuretic. So maybe you aren't intelligent? I will be charitable and just label you misinformed
Now you have two ways forward. You can dig your heels in and refuse to admit your mistake and I will be forced to highlight your ignorance even more.
Or.......you can jus acknowledge that you were wrong and graciously admit it.

You are truly full of shit, you deliberately just snipped a paragraph out of context. He is obviously saying that is the conventional advice and then goes on to say it's wrong.
Arseholes like you are always going on about experts in their field should be listened to, or is that only in climate change? You revealed yourself to be a ginormous cockwomble, GFY.

He won't, you can be sure of that! I can't believe that anybody who professes to be intelligent could spout such bullshit.

I am sure he will attempt to say drinking water makes you urinate therefore water is a diuretic.
Of course that will only solidify his ignorance
It's sad to see someone of your massive ignorance demonstrate it on such a regular basis. And on such a public forum.

I have beaten your ass so badly here it is getting boring.
(laughing)
Did your meds run out again?
Let's see. What was your last ass kicking? The General Welfare Clause? You are still looking at your bunghole in your hands on that one, aren't you?

So you're saying that he included that paragraph as proof that every doctor is wrong? I thought that was his recommendation. Which makes his claims even more idiotic. Of course, he's a pharmacist, so he really doesn't know much about cardiology...as is glaringly evident.

I have that moron blocked, so I don't get to see his idiotic nonsense. Water most definitely helps pass retained water, but I wouldn't expect you to understand such complexities.

That's because you're a idiot who can't even read apparently. I also love the way that you just move on when your previous bullshit has been exposed. From the article.
"As a leading cardiovascular research scientist — based at Saint Luke’s Mid-America Heart Institute, Missouri — I’ve contributed extensively to health policy and medical literature.*
I am associate editor of the British Medical Journal’s Open Heart, published in partnership with the British Cardiovascular Society, and I sit on the editorial advisory board of several other medical journals."

Seriously, just read the bloody article. If you can't understand it then get an intelligent six year old to explain it for you.

Every trumper is a N4T.
I believe that as far as hypertension is concerned, the relationship to high sodium intake has more to do with over eating and weight gain.
Follow me here....
Food with high sodium content TENDS TO BE junk food. Burgers, fries, pizza, lasagna, Buffalo wings, tacos, nachos, burritos.... etc, etc, etc.
People who consume mainly those kinds of foods, especially in their later years, after 50 let's say, are more prone to eat too much of a QUANTITY of those foods, which leads to obesity, which leads to hypertension.
On the other hand, older people who consume less food TEND TO eat a diet of the healthier kinds of foods that don't tempt and invite one to overindulge in them. So because they're eating food that is healthier and they eat less quantities of food, they tend to lose weight which in turn, lowers or eliminates hypertension, irregardless of the amount of sodium contained in the food.
So basically what I'm saying is that the kinds of foods that have a high sodium content, are usually the kinds of foods people tend to gorge on, which leads to obesity, which in turn leads to hypertension. The kinds of foods that have a lower sodium content are the kinds of foods people tend to eat in moderation, which leads to weight loss, which in turn leads to normal blood pressure levels.
And those people who eat healthier, lower sodium foods in lower quantities are also probably more prone to getting adequate exercise too.

I had hoped for the best but it appears you remain stubborn in your idiocy
Allow me to correct you.
Drinking water results in urination which is a normal biological process at a certain point your body maintains an equilibrium to some extent.
If you look up diuretics you will not see water listed as one.
For example. When Rune has an exacerbation of his heart failure and has +3 pitting edema in his lower extremities you can guarendamntee that loading him up with more water is not on the treatment regimen.
He will be given a loop diuretic which will pull off the excess fluid. Loop diuretics are preferred in this instance because they have a dose dependent effect. The more you give the more you get.
So ends your lesson
