Sodium intake in realtion to high blood pressure

Sodium is a hot topic that is being investigated to determine if its relationship is truely detremental to blood pressure levels which can impact its relationship with cardiac disease. Currently sodium is a major no no for those with high blood pressure and diets have been developed such as the DASH diet to eliminate sodium intake. The first article gives the Center for Disease Control's opinion on sodium based off previous findings. I feel that this could be a more informative than the french fries and heart article. The second link gives an interesting take on sodium from the opposing side aka the salt lovers.
