With how much fucking salt they take in, how does anyone from Japan live past 50?

Gee, it's almost like you don't know an actual Jap diet at all.
Do you figure they eat nothing but sushi and ramen, too?

The relative healthiness of the Japanese is due to a huge number of factors. Their meals, while containing decent amounts of salt, are in small portions and are also are rich in omega-3 fatty acids from seafood, which can help prevent heart disease. High salt intake is "bad for you" because it can temporarily increase your blood pressure. When this is combined with a sedentary lifestyle, diabetes, smoking, or a diet made heavily of processed foods (all of which are more common in Western nations than Japan), your risk of developing chronic high blood pressure, which can cause damage to your heart, kidneys, eyes, and brain, increases. Genetics also plays a huge role in your risk of developing hypertension and certain ethnicities have higher (Hispanic, African Americans) or lower (Asian, Northern European) risks.

The sodium-hypertension connection is more retarded bullshit from the same nutritional science era that brought us ‘fat makes you fat’, ‘margarine is healthier than butter’ and the stupid fucking LDL hypothesis.
