On Where To Live When You Want To Die Young

they're attributing women's deaths to excess salt consumption, which i really wonder about. i'm thinking they did this by making a class of diseases that can be caused by excess salt consumption (like hypertension) and attributed them all to this. as far as i understand it, the jury is still really out on whether it's the salt that's to blame.
