Does dietary salt induce autoimmunity?

Andrew L Croxford et al. Cell Res. 2013 Jul.

Abstract

Two recent publications suggest that dietary salt may polarize TH17 cells and therefore increase the risk of developing autoimmune disease. Where low salt diets can readily be tested for their therapeutic effects in autoimmune disease, more work is needed to connect dietary salts with the development of immunopathology.
