Abstract
Independent systematic reviews of the totality of the evidence by governments and international agencies throughout the world uniformly conclude that population-wide interventions to reduce salt are beneficial for health. However, some scientists continue to produce and cite studies with paradoxical findings that conflict with the evidence base used to develop national and World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines on salt reduction.[1-5] While conflicting studies are not uncommon in any area of research,[6] in the case of salt, such studies attract widespread attention in the media; misinform program leaders, clinicians, and the general public; and impede program implementation. Such impediments to progress have occurred despite the fact that the designs and methods of studies with paradoxical findings have been criticized by international experts who highlight the fact that the results are not valid.[7-9]
