"New research from the University of Cincinnati (UC) shows that elevated levels of sodium blunt the body's natural responses to stress by inhibiting stress hormones that would otherwise be activated in stressful situations. These hormones are located along the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which controls reactions to stress."
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0405175012.htm Another of my favorite soap boxes is the appalling ignorance of electrolyte issues in the neurological community. If, as I believe, a large part of PD comes from our weird stress response, then that bag of chips may be more than just comfort food.
