Semantics. I think Taubes is pointing out that the *study* itself
didn't mention it.

I don't see it as semantics.

That's because you're a doofus.

He's essentially saying that for some of us, reducing sodium intake
might be prudent, but for the vast majority of us, it makes little
difference, and can actually cause problems - as recent studies have
shown.

That seems pretty straightforward and transparent to me.

And very unlike the "tactics he rails against."

You're trying to lead the whole thing off into
another direction.

No, that's what YOU are trying to do.

I'm letting Taubes words, and the results of the various studies he
cites, speak for themselves.

The problem is he misreported what the study said.
That;s my point.

No, he didn't.

If anyone "misreported" anything, the study itself did.

People are free to make up their own minds about that.
