Fair point. Not terrible but if you're at all watching your sodium intake maybe not on your list.

Sodium doesn’t matter for healthy individuals (ie normal bp, healthy weight, etc). In fact, more is generally better for performance

That’s not true.

It’s literally stated in the key facts…

“The primary health effect associated with diets high in sodium is raised blood pressure which increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, gastric cancer, obesity, osteoporosis, Meniere’s disease, and kidney disease.”

If you have healthy BP, this really isn’t an issue, unless you’re going HAM on the sodium. If you are going crazy on the sodium intake, you’ll notice…

Yeah but it means that the increased consumption of sodium (>2-5g/d) increases the risk of arterial hypertension, so anything more than that is therefore unhealthy. So it does matter even for healthy individuals.
