I've always enjoyed salty things. I don't really like sweet sugary things. If I have snacks. It's something salty. I cook with a lot of salt. I learned to cook better from my chef roommate. Restaurant food is full of salt. I don't use iodized salt though, which wasn't mentioned in this article. It would be interesting to see some health comparisons between diets high in iodized salt vs non-iodized salt. I also think high sodium processed food vs high salt homecooked food should be looked at. I feel like general industrial food processing.probably has a higher impact on heart disease and high blood pressure than salt does.
For all the salt I eat, i've never had problems with blood pressure or anything. It's always been at a good level and I come from a family with a history of heart disease and tend to be fairly stressed out a lot.
Processed is the worst. So is sugar. I am surprised there has not been a double blind study done over a large period of time between those who eat processed food and only natural, simple things. I can guarantee you that a diet large in processed foods dramatically reduces ones lifespan and overall quality of life.

Iodine can also reduce plaque formations in arteries.
Iodine is also concentrated in the retina and prevents UV damage. Also prevents cateracts.
Look up Guy Abraham he was a professor of endocrinology at UCLA and has used iodine to treat thyroid disorders.
I had Chronic Active Epistein Barr Virus and iodine cured me.
