I'll pretend you are meaning the obvious: That high salt intake IS dangerous. Salt itself is fine. Salt will still be in food. Large amounts of salt will be regulated. Large amounts of salt in one meal doesnt kill you immediately, but that is not the point.
But it looks like we can get beyond the obvious fact that the FDA is designed to make regulations like this, and get to the what seems like a better point: Is high sodium proven to be harmful? After all, even though the FDA is supposed to make these type of regulations...that wouldnt apply here if high sodium wasnt deemed a risk.
Not gonna lie, not gonna scourge the net looking for links trying to prove how high sodium is harmful. I'm not a doctor, and not about to write an essay. I could throw out some links, but you could probably also throw out links to the contrary.
I thought it was just as obvious as other shit, like HFCS. After all, there is conflicting research where that is concerned as well. I'll let the FDA do that leg work. But as someone that has had a family prone to high blood pressure, and doin my own little research on the subject, I'm gonna assume that there would be enough research to allow for such a regulation. And I am all for it.
As much as everyone seems to hate HFCS, you could easily replace salt with HFCS and have the exact same thread. Just the idea of government of regulating things like this grinds some gears, and it just cracks me up. These regulations do not prevent people from eating shit...you can cook whatever you want. What it does is protect people from suffering the effects of Food producers that dont give a shit about anything but their bottom line.
