Abstract
The Lancet Editorial (May 25, p 1790)1 on the Institute of Medicine (IOM)'s report is seriously misleading. The IOM strongly reinforced that salt intake should be reduced to less than 6 g daily, but there was little outcome evidence below 6 g daily.2 However, for reasons that are far from clear, the IOM committee were not allowed to consider the effect of salt reduction on blood pressure—which is rather surprising. They relied heavily on a meta-analysis of salt reduction trials in heart failure from one centre, which had already been retracted on the grounds that the reliability of the data on which the study is based cannot be substantiated.
