I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I'd rather hear about things that are actually happening.

That sodium is the leading reason for blood pressure and heart disease. Evidence has been shaky at best, and at worst it's a cause among many.

I'm not sure where you're seeing this stated as the leading reason? It sounds like the straw man arguments by those who dismiss concerns with sodium intake. You may be interested in the following discussion https://sigmanutrition.com/episode375/

I'm not watching or listening to anything with the word sigma in it, sorry.

Sigma Nutrition is not related to the more recently trending term of Sigma Male and its brand of toxic masculinity if that is what you are worried about.
