"The associations between systolic pressure and sodium excretion did not translate into less morbidity or improved survival. On the contrary, low sodium excretion predicted higher cardiovascular mortality.

Taken together, our current findings refute the estimates of computer models of lives saved and health care costs reduced with lower salt intake. They do also not support the current recommendations of a generalized and indiscriminate reduction of salt intake at the population level.

However, they do not negate the blood pressure-lowering effects of a dietary salt reduction in hypertensive patients."

Исследование уже вызвало реакцию официальных лиц CDC:

Even CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) officials commented on this new European study, saying it had some flaws. It is highly unusual for the CDC to comment on studies.

According to Dr. Peter Briss, a CDC medical director, the small study included young participants. He added that there were not enough cardiovascular events to draw conclusions from. He suggested the study be taken with a grain of salt.

Однако, это не первое исследование, указывающее на увеличение риска смертности больных при неизбирательном ограничении потребления поваренной соли.
