About this listen

We all know the dangers of sugar and salt: but the danger attributed to the second white crystal has more to do with getting too little of it, not too much. Too little salt can shift the body into semi-starvation mode, causing insulin resistance, and may even cause twice as much fat to be absorbed for every gram that's consumed.

Too little salt in certain populations can also actually increase blood pressure as well as resting heart rate. In order to hydrate and nourish our cells, transmit nerve signals, contract our muscles, ensure proper digestion and breathing, and maintain proper heart function, we need salt.

In this book, a leading cardiovascular research scientist and doctor of pharmacy overturns conventional thinking about salt and explores the little-understood importance of it, the health dangers of having too little, and how salt can actually help you improve sports performance, crush sugar cravings, and stave off common chronic illnesses.

Amazingly revealing!

We have been mislead for decades on what we should be eating and how it affects our health.
Dr. DiNicolantonio is yet another example of real scientists seeking the truth and exposing it to the masses.

Must Read

Most likely one of the best Audibles I've listened too. Sets the truth on Salt and shines the light on Sugar.

Eye Opener

This book is an eye opener. it is put out in a logical way though i need to discuss and debate with a nephrologists and family physician about the truth behind these. you can live without sugar (which is the real culprit for all heart diseases) for your lifetime. but you cannot live without kidney for more than few days. your kidney processes many pounds of salt every day. 2 gram of salt per day is not huge for it. one drawback of this book is it is very repetitive

One of The Most Important Books You’ll Ever Read!

Coming from a medical background with 20 years in Radiology, the information contained in this book is truly life changing for all of humanity. How the medical community has demonized one of the most important elements for Life, is truly astonishing! If you read just one book in 2025, let it be The Salt Fix! Highly Highly, Recommended for anyone but more so for anyone who has been a victim of indoctrination through their Medical Career.
Thank You Dr. James Dinicolantonio, Well Done!

Fabulous

I wish I could get my entire family to read this book. It explains the history of why we believe “low-salt”diets to be healthy.
