There's been a ton of mostly lightweight, trivial, and linkbait laden
media coverage [1] on this new research paper. I submitted the
actiononsalt.org.uk url since Graham MacGregor is the Chairman of
Consensus Action on Salt & Health (CASH) group, as well as the author of
the paper and a professor of Cardiovascular Medicine at Queen Mary
University of London.<p>The paper, "<i>High Salt Intake - Independent Risk Factor for Obesity</i>,"
is published in the "<i>Hypertension</i>" journal of the American Heart
Association which is sadly stuck behind yet another pointless
science-killing paywall. Luckily, Graham MacGregor has made the paper
publicly available [2].<p>I have no idea how this new research ties in with recent obesity
research at MIT and Harvard [3, 4], but it's interesting to ponder.<p>[1]
