New study finds links between high salt consumption and premature mortality

>A total of 501379 participants from UK biobank who completed the questionnaire on the frequency of adding salt to foods at baseline.
>We found graded relationships between higher frequency of adding salt to foods and higher concentrations of spot urinary sodium or estimated 24-h sodium excretion.
>During a median of 9.0 years of follow-up, 18474 premature deaths were documented. The multivariable hazard ratios [95% confidence interval (CI)] of all-cause premature mortality across the increasing frequency of adding salt to foods were 1.00 (reference), 1.02 (0.99, 1.06), 1.07 (1.02, 1.11), and 1.28 (1.20, 1.35) (P-trend<0.001).
>In addition, compared with the never/rarely group, always adding salt to foods was related to 1.50 (95% CI, 0.72–2.30) and 2.28 (95% CI, 1.66–2.90) years lower life expectancy at the age of 50 years in women and men, respectively.

How much salt do I have to add to decrease my life expectancy by 50 years but still taste good?

salt is essential, but in today's world most of what we eat already has so much sodium that its easy to overdose
dont buy premade meals and salt your food

I can never understand people who immediately use the salt shaker at restaurants. A restaurant by default is going to make the food five times saltier than you would at home, because it fucking tastes better. If these people are adding even more salt to restaurant food they're probably well over twice the daily recommended values.

I use Maldon sea salt and am strong like bull. Maldon salt is one of the earliest documented foods in England. Like nearly a thousand years ago. Good shit. Good salt.

This. We already know excess salt is not good for you why are we wasting resources on this study.

There are still a lot of people who think you can consume very high amounts of salt as long as you drink water.

What about other salts like potassium?

[Anonymous No.18106168]

If you exercise and drink enough water you don't have to worry about these things lmao. This is all just made up nonsense.

[Anonymous No.18106170]

>>18105895
Because you can, so long as you get sufficient exercise. Fear of salt is for the sedentary.

High salt intake has been associated with stomach cancer. I don't think drinking water and exercise can offset that.

Drinking too much water can be bad for you, or even kill you. But the answer to that isn't just pee more.

[Anonymous No.18106254]

>>18105895
but research should focus on why people have those beliefs/attitudes, not do a study for the nth time on why excessive salt is bad

>too much water can be bad for you, or even kill you
Yeah because it displaces the sodium in your blood you fucking numpty lmao
>high salt intake has been associated with stomach cancer
"Associated" lol. Another bullshit cherrypicked study by "experts" you read the headline of. But hey, even if it does, there are countless other things people SHOULD be worried about directly consuming rather than salt.
Fear of salt, water, and exercise is for the sedentary. Stop being an idiot, you have zero grasp on what you think you are talking about.

Correlation causation. Those which overconsume salts usually eat fast food. Salt is not the enemy, just somethig the enemy uses as well. Now stop posting studies if you dont vn understand them.

sodium is one chemical element, no calories, mostly found in one form (salt), so it's easy to isolate and do "studies" on
that's the ONLY reason "scientists" obsess so much about salt
everything else that would be more interesting is caloric which means they have to actually use their brains to find a way to remove confounding

actually sodium plays a critical role in cellular polarization/repolarization when the heart beats, along with potassium, which is essential in regulating heart rhythm

I say we give them an extra 15% on their budget next year

Lmao, not only is this an observational study, but it’s a questionnaire. Diddnt even try to control for any confounding variables.

I add salt to my water. Get fucked lol

Anything under 2g increases your mortality more than going nuts with upwadrds of 8g, retard.

I don't know, I'm sure we consume too much salt but also the foods that are loaded with them (chips, fast food, etc.) are unhealthy for many reasons besides salt. I don't know if I'm convinced
