I have personally spent over a hundred hours critically assessing the merit of most of the salt-related arguments in The Salt Fix. I am fairly open-minded and if the data would have been convincing, I just might have changed my mind about ideal salt intake levels. However, James DiNicolantonio has shown us that it's possible to reference hundreds upon hundreds of articles and studies (including a few Wikipedia entries) and still come up very short in terms of honest and accuracy. The book makes numerous false or misleading claims, and the author conveniently overlooks a large number of studies that contradict his stance, many of which are larger or of higher quality than the studies he ultimately chose to reference. If you read this book (or before you consider reading it), please check out my fact-checking article by googling "fact checking the salt fix" (no ads, no affiliate links). Sadly, a more accurate title for this book would be The Salt Fix: How James Got It All Wrong—And How Eating More Might Shorten Your Life.Read full review

This book opened my eyes to see what I suspected about salt. It’s a sad day when masses are told to cut back on something as vital as salt, and then years later discovered they were wrong. This book is one that everyone should read. Wake up and find what salts are best, how much, and why so many blue zones people eat plenty of salt for longevity in life.
