a blanket rule like 60g / day might be a little alarmist.
It might be tough to limit yourself to <2 ounces a day, but it is possible

Reuben - there is no question that excessive sodium is linked to hypertension.
Linked and "the only cause" are two different things. Even the article posted above acknowledges that hypertensive people benefit from reduction in sodium intake... I think that piece is irrefutable.
Emphasis added. The point is that the science on this is much less settled than conventional wisdom and the certainty of the pronouncements of the public health community would suggest.First, a reduced-salt diet doesn't lower everyone's blood pressure. Some individuals' blood pressure can actually rise in response to less salt, and most people aren't affected much either way. The more notable drop in blood pressure tends to occur in some "” but by no means all "” people with hypertension, a condition that affects more than a quarter of American adults.
The Japanese basically just eat rice and salt and live forever. So yeah.
Until they get stomach cancer.
