So I talked to 3 separate doctors about salt reducing heart disease and they all looked at me like I was crazy. They told me, what I told you, that salt increased blood pressure by diluting the blood with water. This makes the heart work harder on a daily basis, and makes it more prone to Heart Failure, and Heart Disease.
If you want to reduce youy odds of heart disease, jog.
Also, just something I learned from a few courses I've taken in environmental science. Don't believe news articles online, especially when they don't site the original journal article (like your links). News agency's often twist the truth. Heck I just asked for a 3 day ban because I had to finish a few assignments, one was a media critique. The article I found, sourced the original articles, and comepletly twisted it around. The article was about how Global Warming Models are becoming really accurate, and the news article was about how they were completly wrong, and global warming is a hoax. Plus in the comments section of his article, half the people believed him.
My advice, if you don't believe me, is to go to your doctor and ask. Go to multiple doctors if you have to, or a nutritionist. Nutritionists especially are responsible for knowing up to date values for nutrients, and doctors know quite a bit too.
If you want to read up on this stuff yourself though, don't read it on news articles. Go to a Medical Journal and look up actual research. Don't take someone else word for it.

So I'm going to end this with the US, and Canadian Medical Accociations both recommend a diet of 1,500mg of salt a day. I'll believe them over any news article. I think it's you who believe in the wives tale told in the news atm.

All you need to know how to do is read a scinetific report. It all checks out.

I'll look into Medical Journals in Canada to finish this debate later. However I did just talk to 3 Doctors, and some medical staff where I work (I work as a secretary at a General Practitioners office, however it's a big place). I think they are less likely to be convinced by "wives tales" then you would be.
If you could show me a journal from either USA's or Canada's Medical association (not a press release, the actual Journal, from a database), then I would give your stance a second thought.
Actually, you know what, I just took 5 minutes to look for a Medical Journal Article, and I immediatly found one which devalidates your claims.

I... feel like you don't know much about how science works.
That article is filled with a lot of problems.
For example the study they are saying proves it's wrong doesn't actually account for dietary differences other then salt intake.
Salt is put on unhealthier foods. So if you don't account for dietary differences in food, and just differences in salt intake... of course you would get those results.
