A member asked:
Is excessive sodium intake linked to arthritis? any answer appreciated.

No: Excessive sodium intake is bad for multiple reasons mostly revolving around fluid shifting in the body. A person with healthy kidneys can usually manage some sodium but too much has been linked to swelling, high blood pressure and the other issues related to those problems.
