Institute of Medicine: Lowering daily sodium intake below 2,300 milligrams may do more harm than good

A report from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) suggests that lowering sodium below 2,300 milligrams per day may be harmful to your health. While the organization, which is the health section of the non-profit organization the National Academy of Sciences, says that Americans are eating too much salt in their diets currently, their research has led them to conclude that lowering sodium too much may increase other adverse health risks. “These new studies support previous findings that reducing sodium from very high intake levels to moderate levels improves health,” committee chair Brian Strom, George S.
