And in individuals who have insulin resistance, there will be excess reabsorption, excess holding on to sodium at the level of the kidney.

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.

conversely excess insulin in a state of hyperinsulinemia will lead to excess resorption of sodium so if you have high blood pressure and you have hyperinsulinemia if your fasting insulin is high you're holding on to too much sodium
if we don't correct the root cause of hypertension which is insulin resistance we must get rid of the sodium

The problem with salt and hypertension, high blood pressure, is not the salt itself. It's the underlying insulin resistance.
