TLDR
The statement reviews more recent studies and critiques the arguments for a sodium health claim, and invites the readers to respond to the discussion in this controversial area of nutrition science and policy.Abstract:
Nutrition Reviews has had a continuing interest in the scientific basis of arguments for and against health claims on foods. Such claims were first authorized by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1993 under the terms of the Nutrition Labelling and Education Act of the U.S. Congress, passed in 1990. Since then there have been petitions that have resulted in a newly authorized claim for oats and other petitions directed toward modification or deletion of the originally approved claims. The Salt Institute, an industry-supported organization, has actively participated in the discussions regarding the sodium and hypertension health claim. The scientists signing this statement are familiar with the evolving understanding of the relationship between sodium and hypertension. The statement reviews more recent studies and critiques the arguments for a sodium health claim. We invite our readers to respond to the discussion in this controversial area of nutrition science and policy.read more

Lifestyle and hypertension.
TL;DR: Control trials in hypertensives show blood pressure lowering effects of supplemental potassium, fibre, n-3 fatty acids, and diets rich in fruit and vegetables and low in saturated fats, while some population studies show an inverse relationship between dietary protein and blood pressure levels.

Lifestyle and hypertension - an overview
TL;DR: Recent trials suggest substantial cardiovascular benefits by a combination of weight control and sodium moderation in the elderly, by non-vegetarian diets rich in fruit and vegetables and low in saturated fat, and by incorporation of regular fish meals into weight control diets.

Salt reduction and cardiovascular risk: the anatomy of a myth
TL;DR: A myth has been created which is encapsulated in Muntzel and Drüeke’s assertion in 1992 that ‘lowering salt intake may result in health risks that outweigh the benefits of blood pressure reduction’.

Intersalt: An international study of electrolyte excretion and blood pressure. Results for 24 hour urinary sodium and potassium excretion
TL;DR: Body mass index and heavy alcohol intake had strong, significant independent relations with blood pressure in individual subjects, and the relation of sodium to potassium ratio to blood pressure followed a pattern similar to that of sodium.
