ANNEX XIII REFERENCE INTAKES PART A — DAILY REFERENCE INTAKES FOR VITAMINS AND MINERALS (ADULTS):

Chloride 800 mg/day!

Note: But here no given DRI for sodium and/or salt. Where is the real science of salt? Taboo is taboo. I think everyone knows - about 1.3 g NaCl contains 800 mg chloride and 500 mg sodium. (And in 10th ed. of RDA /1989/ was 500 mg sodium/day and 750 mg/day chloride!

https://www.nap.edu/catalog/1349/recommended-dietary-allowances-10th-edition )

But in

PART B — REFERENCE INTAKES FOR ENERGY AND SELECTED NUTRIENTS OTHER THAN VITAMINS AND MINERALS (ADULTS):

In the last line of table: Salt = 6 g per day!

This is about 3639 mg chloride per day! Awesome, in the European Union - officially, the salt is not a mineral? And what is this misleading contradiction? This is a global infection among health scientists = the Three Monkeys Syndrome. Hear no truth, see no truth, speak no truth!

Victor Katch: The manufactured sodium controversy. November 16, 2015.  http://michigantoday.umich.edu/the-manufactured-sodium-controversy/

From this:

"For millions of years the human diet was salt-free or contained very low amounts of salt. Low-salt living is compatible with normal physiology, and it’s safe! The data are clear. In the few populations today that eat a low-salt or salt-free diet, hypertension is almost nonexistent. And when you take individuals suffering with hypertension and bring them back to the sodium levels humans were designed to eat, hypertension reverses. Kidney and cardiovascular function also improve. Researchers first documented this finding in the 1940s, a time in which drugs weren’t available to treat hypertension. At that time, the only treatment involved changing one’s diet. ...

 Mislead, deny, and confuse the public: A familiar tactic

Despite threats to human health, salt is added to many foods to make them more palatable, to increase the water content of meat products, and to increase thirst. Not surprisingly, salt is a huge driver of profits generated by the processed food and drink industries. So they put a lot of time, money, and effort into fostering doubt and confusion about the dangers of dietary salt intake. Accusations of scientific conspiracies, selective use of manufactured-sponsored research, and outright fraud are used to downplay the risks."

Dr. Fiona Godlee editor in chief of The BMJ:

 "I think we have to call it what it is. It is the CORRUPTION of the SCIENTIFIC PROCESS. ... Patients do get hurt. Drugs that shouldn't be available are AVAILABLE. DRUGS with HARMS are USED and PATIENTS are UNAWARE of those HARMS. Devices that shouldn't be on the market are on the market. So yes, we do know that PATIENTS are HARMED, and WE KNOW that the HEALTH SYSTEMS are HARMED as a RESULT of POOR SCIENCE."

"Just as the constant increase of entropy is the basic law of the universe, so it is the basic law of life to be ever more highly structured and to struggle against entropy." Vaclav Havel

( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Václav_Havel )

Even we feed the entropy in our every cells by sodium salts, and this is a frightening, global taboo among health scientists. Vaclav Havel understood the entropy law - the health scientists do not understand it? Or? Everybody is corrupted?

"The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing." Albert Einstein

My version:

The world is a dangerous place, not only because of those who do evil, but because of those millions who look on and do nothing.
