I believe it is just bad science / a correlation or causation problem.
People eat processed foods.
Processed foods are high in salt.
Processed food will cause chronic illness.
Salt is blamed.
Or its that they consume so many electrolytes in asia their bodies are good at maintaining a balance for things like the sodium potassium pump for example. Very bad imbalances in sodium/potassium can cause this pump and therefore muscles to fail, like the heart. But that shouldn't happen very often.
Something similar happens with asians in that they consume much more iodine than the US but their thyroids arent very effected by it either.
