Health Effects of Salty Diets Still Uncertain

An analysis of studies, narrative reviews, meta-analyses, letters, comments, clinical guidelines and consensus statements between 1974-2014 yielded no conclusive result on the effects of salt on health. 54% support the hypothesis that lower salt intake is associated with better health, 33% are against the hypothesis, and 13% are inconclusive.
