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.

From what I understand it's only really a problem for a specific set of high blood pressure folks. Something genetic I think.

I'm on blood pressure medication, and haven't received any advice about sodium intake.

Only ~50% of the population is hypertensive, and only about half of them are sodium sensitive.

And half of the half that are sensitive, it lowers blood pressure.
