I don't know whether anyone else here has picked up on it, but I heard an item on today's news about a study in Japan which had uncovered a link between excessive salt consumption and nocturnia - the need to get up and pee at least once or twice a night which is a common experience for people over a certain age. Personally I'm inclined to treat the findings with a little scepticism as I'd expect salt to have the opposite effect if anything, but then I'm no chemist.

Did you deliberately miss out the oh so obvious gag? Yeah, I'd treat it with a pinch of salt! :-D -
Salt
Looks real to me:

It wasn't on Facebook, so I think we can assume that this is not "fake news." [LOL]
The research appears to be real. This doesn't mean that the conclusion--i.e., that if you eat a lot of salt, you will pee a lot at night--is accurate.
They claim to have identified a link. That's not the same as proving cause and effect.
There might be something else that the subjects of their study all have in common--something not yet identified--that causes them all to eat a lot of salt and pee a lot at night.
