title: The potentiality and practicality of a 'salt-free' diet for the prevention and amelioration of human disorders.
abstract: The potential of a salt-free diet, which restricts sodium intake to 10 mmol/day, for the prevention and amelioration of human diseases and conditions, may be considerable. Several human disorders may be the result of dietary-salt-generated high-bodily-sodium motility and fluid retention, this being incompatible with the maintenance of bodily homeostasis whenever the body is subjected to stress. Equally importantly, the present-day impracticalities of adopting a 'salt-free' diet appear man-made, and therefore soluble once a sufficiency of purpose exists.
