Description
Paulo César B Veiga Jardim writes a 2026 editorial, in Portuguese, praising fresh proof that cutting dietary salt lowers blood pressure, and lamenting how rarely the advice is followed. The piece salutes a systematic review and meta-analysis by Kelly and colleagues, judged careful in method. Its pooled result, as the editorial relays it, puts sodium reduction's effect on pressure on a par with a standard blood pressure drug.
History supports the link: communities eating little salt showed low pressure as far back as the mid-twentieth century, and migrants who moved to saltier diets saw pressure climb. No study, the editorial notes, has ever shown the reverse. The puzzle it leaves is practical, not scientific: a cheap, proven fix that health systems still fail to deliver.
