Increased salt intake is not bad for anyone who is healthy.
There is another arena where junk science has hijacked the truth and that is salt intake. Increased sodium (table salt) does not negatively affect your health. There might be a little more puffiness after an operation, but no long term effect. It does not increase your blood pressure or cause hypertension.
