Lowering Your Salt Intake Could Increase Your Risk of Suffering a Heart Attack

Dear Reader,

You probably aren't going to believe what I have to tell you today.

I say that because it's the direct opposite to everything you've ever heard. But you've heard it so often from so many people you trust — doctors, teachers, friends, probably even your mum — that it's most likely stuck in the section of your brain reserved for unshakable truths.

180 degrees turn-around

Here it is: Lowering sodium intake may actually increase risk of heart attack and death.

And here's the proof: In three different trials that tested low-sodium diets on patients with kidney disease and heart failure, results linked the special diets to higher risk of hospitalizations, cardiovascular events, and death.

Yeah — THAT wasn't supposed to happen!

In a recent Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), Dr. Michael Alderman (a past president of the International Society of Hypertension) called for large- scale clinical trials that will hopefully produce definitive data on what outcomes can be expected in following a reduced-sodium diet.

And why would we need those trials?

According to Dr. David McCarron — a nutritionist and University of California professor — there's currently no reliable evidence that backs up the accepted recommendation to reduce sodium intake for heart health. Dr. McCarron says the recommendation is based only on opinion and the demonization of salt by health authorities.

And now I'll tell you something you'll have no trouble believing.

One of the key points in the Unites Sates Department of Agriculture's (USDA) dietary recommendations: Significantly reduce sodium intake.

Real life mythbuster

Writing about the new USDA recommendations in Canada's Financial Post, Dr. McCarron has more salt myths to bust.

Last year he led a study that measured daily salt intake in more than 19,000 subjects from about 30 countries.

The three surprising conclusions:

1) Americans consume no more salt than people in other countries
2) Salt consumption in the US has NOT increased over the past 25 years
3) No matter how salty your food, your body naturally regulates your intake, so you wind up with a consistent overall intake

This is why deliberately forcing down your salt intake is a bad plan — not healthy at all. Your body takes what it needs. And it does need sodium.

Several years ago, German research showed that as many as 1 in 10 seniors suffer from hyponatraemia (low blood levels of sodium).

Hyponatraemia usually goes undiagnosed because symptoms are similar to conditions we associate with ageing: fatigue, confusion, poor balance, and incontinence. In advanced hyponatraemia, patients have hallucinations and may even lapse into a coma.

The German study reported that a large majority of the elderly subjects said they avoided salt based on the popular misconception that salt intake causes high blood pressure.

Wow, USDA, I wonder where they're getting that misguided information.

...and another thing

If you're talking to a female salesperson and she reaches out and briefly puts her hand on your bicep, or your forearm, or she simply shakes your hand, just go ahead and sign on the dotted line because it's over, you're cooked, the deal is done.

That's the conclusion of two different marketing studies from Columbia University, in the US.

When subjects were asked to choose between a safe investment and a risky investment, those who were made to feel comfortable were much more likely to go with the risky choice — especially if they were touched by a woman who explained the choices.

And yes, these same results occurred with subjects of both sexes, not just men.

The leader of the study said "If you're a doctor, or are in sales, this is a form of communication you might want to keep in mind."

And I would add to that: Keep it in mind ESPECIALLY if you're a doctor. Not so you can sell a patient on a therapy, but so you can avoid manipulation by drug sales reps. Because invariably, drug reps are young, good looking, and motivated. And most of them are women.

And if they reach out for that easy little touch…

You might end up prescribing Lipitor to treat the common cold and Avandia to get rid of hiccups.
