Let's just cut to the chase: Decreasing sodium intake is associated with increased, not decreased mortality.

Our observation of sodium intake correlating positively with life expectancy and inversely with all-cause mortality worldwide and in high-income countries argues against dietary sodium intake being a culprit of curtailing life span or a risk factor for premature death. These data are observational and should not be used as a base for nutritional interventions.

The basic rule of observational study and correlation applies:

A thing that is positively correlated with an outcome does not necessarily mean that the thing is causing the outcome.

HOWEVER, the failure to observe said correlation or worse, a negative correlation is nearly gold-standard proof that the claimed cause is false, and in the case of negative correlation implies that in fact the thing you are told to do might harm or even kill you.

As such to make that recommendation in light of this evidence is not only gross (and should be treated as felonious) malpractice it reaches into the realm of reasonably inferring intentional harm, presumably in this case since its coming from doctors and the medical system generally for the direct purpose of screwing you out of money irrespective of the fact that it may (not proved, but may) make you sicker or even dead.

I want heads -- and bankruptcy -- for every single entity involved including Congress, the FDA, the "American Heart(attack) Association" and every single hospital and physician that has run this bullshit for decades.

Damn near every one of these prescriptions is not just wrong it's exactly backward.
