Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): One of the most well-known impacts of high-sodium food consumption is its association with hypertension. Sodium plays a key role in regulating blood pressure, and excessive sodium intake can lead to fluid retention and increased blood volume, raising blood pressure levels. Chronic hypertension is a significant risk factor for heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease.
Cardiovascular Disease: High sodium intake is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Elevated blood pressure, a consequence of high sodium intake, can damage blood vessels over time, leading to atherosclerosis (hardening and narrowing of the arteries), heart attack, and stroke.
Kidney Disease: The kidneys play a crucial role in regulating sodium balance in the body. High sodium intake can strain the kidneys and impair their ability to properly excrete excess sodium, leading to kidney damage over time. Individuals with existing kidney disease may be particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of high sodium intake.
Fluid Retention and Edema: Excessive sodium consumption can cause the body to retain water, leading to fluid retention and edema (swelling), particularly in the extremities such as the ankles and feet. This can be uncomfortable and may exacerbate conditions such as congestive heart failure or liver disease.
Osteoporosis: Some research suggests that high sodium intake may be associated with decreased bone mineral density and an increased risk of osteoporosis, especially in postmenopausal women. High sodium levels in the body can lead to increased urinary calcium excretion, which may contribute to bone loss over time.
Stomach Cancer: High-sodium diets, particularly those high in salt-preserved foods, have been associated with an increased risk of stomach cancer. Excessive sodium intake may irritate the stomach lining and promote the growth of Helicobacter pylori bacteria, a known risk factor for gastric cancer.
Fluid Imbalance: Consuming too much sodium without adequate water intake can disrupt the body's fluid balance, leading to dehydration or electrolyte imbalances. This can have various negative effects on health, including fatigue, muscle cramps, and impaired organ function.
Increased Risk of Stroke: High sodium intake is associated with an increased risk of stroke, particularly ischemic stroke, which occurs when blood flow to the brain is blocked by a blood clot. Hypertension, a consequence of high sodium intake, is a major risk factor for stroke.
| Rank | Probiotic | Impact |

We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.
| Taxonomy | Rank | Effect | Citations | Notation |
|---|
A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.
We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.
Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
