I believe there is a lot of controversy with the low salt diet right now. Yes, Americans consume a lot of salt through all the processed foods they eat, but at the same time, our bodies are able to take care of a multitude of problems on their own. If you eat an excessive amount of salt, cut back, but not completely. Doctors tend to totally cut off ALL salt intake, as was done with my son, and it had an adverse affect on his system and he passed away.
