あらすじ・解説
Sodium (and salt for that matter) has been made out to be the villian when it comes to nutrition. In fact, without sodium, you wouldn't be alive. While high amounts of salt in the diet are related to high blood pressure, the evidence to support a link with heart and other diseases isn't clear. In this episode we discuss why we need sodium, how much is too much, is sodium as harmful as we're told and how getting more potassium can help.
