Comment on Most everyone can lower blood pressure by reducing salt, even those on BP drugs: Study

We’re not going to get better humans any time soon, so I think it’s not useful to focus on individual based solutions population level problems.

Fair, for solving it on population level it is also regulating how much salt manufacturers are allowed to put in ready made food , otherwise they will keep adding more and more salt becuase it selss better

That’s fine, but why not mandate it just be a different salt at that point. No reduction in flavor/sales plus health benefits. Again, simple reduction impacts taste and will have reduced efficacy based on that.
