By David Brownstein, M.D.
A low-salt diet is good for you if you have high-blood pressure, right? WRONG! Says Dr. Brownstein, and here are the reasons for his contrarian view. He shows the errors that led early researchers to believe that low salt intake would reduce blood pressure and then presents scientific studies showing a 400% increase in heart attacks among hypertension patients on a low-salt diet. He also shows the value of adequate unrefined salt consumption in combating Thyroid and Adrenal disorders. Paperbound, 131 pages. |
