You should read the article. No really. Because they mention exactly this. That it's not just a matter of eliminating salt, it is absolutely required, but that we tend to eat too much. Heck here's a copy / paste for you:

To stay healthy, the human body relies on a careful balance: too little immune function and we succumb to infection, too much activity and the immune system begins to attack healthy tissue, a condition known as autoimmunity. Some forms of autoimmunity have been linked to overproduction of TH17 cells, a type of helper T cell that produces an inflammatory protein called interleukin-17.

The problem with PJ and action is that he uses so much that the original carefully placed action sequences in the source material (thinking Tolkien and Herge here) are swamped by meaningless action, which means that there is no build up and release of tension. You become disconnected from the story and your mind starts to wander. Then you realise you're in a cinema and it starts to get boring.

I call that the "Peter Jackson" effect. It was the same story for LOTR, Tintin, and well anything he's done since well for ever. He cuts out important narrative and adds pointless action sequences that only serve to reduce the impact and tension of the important action sequences.

There is still a war raging there, plus at least 5 >other countries are being bombed on regular basis. All that in response to an 11+ year old event (if a major one). You wanna talk about "proportional response"? This argument is a logical fallacy know as the ad hominem attack. A statement is true or false on its own merits regardless of who is doing the stating.
