Re: salt sensitivity

Having been married to a guy who salted food till it turned white but
had normal BP, I questioned the mandatory correlation between salt
intake and high blood pressure. I'm currently researching the issue
of salt sensitivity and wonder if anyone knows who was the fist
physician or scientist who suggested it? I seem to recall seeing a
doctor on TV and he subsequently got a lot of flack although the idea
that some people are salt sensitive is fairly common now.

The Yellow Emporor about 1400 BC I think-"when too much salt it taken the pulse hardens and strokes occur".

Recommend you get and read Denton's Hunger for Salt and Guyton's Textbook of Physiology for more background.

RE the "normal" BP of your your salter friend.  The higher the BP greater this risk of stroke etc and this begins at least at a systolic of 117 mm Hg.  Thus your friend might still be salt sensitive, as are all humans if he lowered his salt intake enough.  Have him try the DASH diet first, then the Kempner rice fruit diet then a completeley salt free diet. Eventally his BP will go down and he will die of sodium depletion. The goal of course it to resume salt before that happens. 



May your pressure be low!
