Killer salt and other ‘scientific’ disasters

Killer salt and other ‘scientific’ disasters - Daily Inter Lake: Frank:
"Does this mean we are going to be seeing a spate of malpractice lawsuits filed against doctors who have been putting their patients on low-salt diets with as little as half a teaspoon of sodium per day?
Um, probably not, but it ought to at least teach us that “accepted science” is unbelievably fluid. 
What science tells us is incontrovertible fact today may well be an old wives’ tale by tomorrow."
