"It has been known for many years that decreasing sodium intake causes the body to respond adaptively, increasing
the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). The activation of this system is recognized as a factor in
hypertension, kidney disease, heart failure, fibrosis of the heart, and other problems. Sodium restriction also
increases serotonin, activity of the sympathetic nervous system, and plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1),
which contributes to the accumulation of clots and is associated with breast and prostate cancer. The sympathetic
nervous system becomes hyperactive in preeclampsia (Metsaars, et al., 2006)."
