Ousting salt is not the solution, according to the researchers, who say some salt could actually be necessary to ignite the process of puberty, for rats deprived of salt entirely in the experiment also experienced delayed puberty. Yet salt, they conclude, has a more significant effect on reproductive health than fat. According to a recent study, reducing salt intake to meet guidelines from the World Health Organization (WHO) could be nearly impossible. The WHO recommends consuming less than 2,000 milligrams of salt per day, an amount roughly equal to less than a teaspoon.
