| Salt's bad if you have sodium-responsive hypertension (maybe 30% of the population). |

| salt was always advised to be limited, especially for those with high blood pressure. This hasn't changed, there are just vocal diet ideologues (mostly carnivore/keto) that are trying to post-hoc rationalize otherwise. |
