Salt and health guidelines depend on how sodium intake is measured, how individual biology affects salt sensitivity, and how population policies translate evidence into recommendations.

BMI mislabels healthy people, fuels body image problems, and steers health policy in the wrong direction.

Measuring your waist instead gives you and your doctor a more honest, less stigmatizing read on your health.
