I thought I would do a search to see how this anti-salt crusade started so did a search on "Who said high salt intake is bad?". I didn't find what I was looking for but scanning the first few pages of hits there seemed to be more "doubtful" pages than true believers.
But having banished the salt shaker from the table for so many years I am not about to start smothering food in it any time soon. I have gone back to butter, salted butter, and it tastes wonderful.
Note: The sample for the graph in the OP was 102,000 people in 17 countries. It needs more than a "My GP says differently" argument before I will say that I should trust without doing my own research.
