Does salty eating not affect cardiovascular disease?

Contrary to traditional values ​​that have been valid for decades, recent research by Albert Einstein Medical School scientists (Yeshiva University, New York) suggests that high-salt diets do not increase the risk. death from cardiovascular disease.

This conclusion was made after conducting a survey on adults living in the US in the form of random sampling. School researchers have been searching for signs that a higher risk of death from cardiovascular disease (CVD) is associated with a low-salt, low-salt diet.

'Our findings suggest that a large part of the population said that eating salty seems to be unrelated to the risk of death from CVD or other diseases' , BS. Hillel W. Cohen, an expert in epidemiology and public health, said.

The researchers analyzed data from the Third National Diet and Health Survey (NHANES III) with 8,700 adults, in their 30s participating in 1988 - 1994, and all all belong to the group of 'don't like to eat pale'. They then compared the death data that the government announced in 2000.

In addition to the factors that are considered to affect the risk of CVD such as smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure, according to the survey, 1/4 of the lightest people in the survey group are at risk of dying from CVD. 80% compared to 25% in the most salty group.

'So the general recommendations for everyone to eat light, regardless of who has the blood pressure status or health, is it really beneficial?' is the question that comes after the research results are published.
