Scientists have discovered another dangerous feature of salt

The consumption of salt in large quantities is harmful to the intestines.

A group of scientists from Germany, USA and Belgium found that the abuse of table salt can harm the intestinal microflora of mammals, and subsequently lead to various diseases.

Experts have studied the feces of mice fed food with high salt content, and found that they have decreased the number of bacteria Lactobacillus murinus, in connection with which animals could develop autoimmune encephalomyelitis and hypertension.

Along with this, a pilot study conducted among people, also showed that the use of salt in large quantities, there is a reduction in the number of bacteria, as well as an increase in the number of cells T-helper 17 type, which in such quantities lead to hypertension.

Previously, scientists found that a diet low in salt content can cause cardiovascular disease and increase mortality.
