Our biology is currently out of sync with our environment. By making connections between past and present, Matthew sets out how we came to be in such a predicament, and the consequences for our health.
This talk was delivered at Edinburgh's iconic Central Hall on Thursday, February 18th 2016 and was a part of series of talks given at the TEDxUniversityofEdinburgh 2016 Conference.
Dr Matthew Bailey is the Director of the Centre for Cardiovascular Science at the University of Edinburgh. He completed his PhD in London, post-doctoral training in Saclay (France) and has worked at Yale. Along the way, Matthew has been picking apart the workings of the kidney, blood pressure, and most recently the role of salt in human physiology.

You can live without any added salt and thrive.

What about the other things salt reduction does (e.g renin, noradrenaline, aldosterone)? What about studies that completely contradict and refute your assertions (Cochrane)? How much does blood pressure actually go up and is this better or worse than the other hormonal effects? What about the end result - comparison of deaths for normal / high / low salt diets which show cutting salt increases death events? Are you actually talking complete rubbish?

Brilliant lecture. Its hard to reduce salt intake in our modern way of life. My blood pressure and weight has reduced dramatically since doing so. Thank you for your input.

I want to offer this man a bottle of water… or a less sensitive microphone.

The more salt I eat, the better my blood pressure. Explain that! I eat at least three-five grams per day.

Just the opposite of everything he said is true.

No , I think he is very correct

@@08saaid9 He's not correct about our ancestors sodium intake, it was actually lower. Studies on modern day hunter gatherer societies like the Yanomami tribe of South America shows they take in less than 100 mg (1/10 of a gram) of sodium a day. The con of the salt producers, and their shills (which are rampant on the internet), runs deep. The number one thing a person can do for their health is to eliminate salt (not the nutrient sodium, nor chloride, that we get from whole unprocessed foods) but the manmade additive salt from our diet. The Yanomami, young & old, have an average BP of 95/63 mmHg...so yea, this guy is very. correct.
