  • Warner examines James DiNicolantonio's book The Salt Fix. DiNicolantonio asserts that despite what public health organizations have been saying for decades, eating more salt than recommended is not, in most cases, linked to high blood pressure and to risk of heart disease and stroke. On the contrary, he says, it can help protect against heart disease, as well as insulin resistance, diabetes and kidney disease. Leading public health experts say the totality of evidence is what is important, and that this shows a still-robust link between a high-salt diet and ill health.
