Even though your body starts peeing out more salt, it doesn’t change how much aldosterone hormone you make — meaning these two processes work independently.

Appropriate Language Strength

association

Can only show association/correlation

Assessment Explanation

The claim correctly uses 'not correlated' and cites the exact correlation coefficient and p-value. No causal inference is made, which is appropriate given the data.

Gold Standard Evidence Needed

According to GRADE and EBM methodology, here is what ideal scientific evidence would look like to definitively prove or disprove this specific claim, ordered from strongest to weakest evidence.

Blood Pressure Stability and Plasma Aldosterone Reduction: The Effects of a Sodium and Bicarbonate-Rich Water - A Randomized Controlled Intervention Study

Randomized Controlled Trial
Human
2024 Dec

People drank mineral water with lots of salt and bicarbonate, and their bodies got rid of the extra salt in urine — but that didn’t make the hormone aldosterone change in any predictable way. So, salt excretion and aldosterone levels weren’t linked.

Similar Assertions

Drinking this special mineral water makes your body produce less of a hormone called aldosterone, which helps control blood pressure — and this effect is stronger than with regular mineral water.

Drinking this mineral water makes you pee out more salt and less calcium — which might help protect your bones and kidneys.

Even though people urinate out more salt after drinking this mineral water, their blood pressure doesn’t go up — meaning the body’s salt removal system works fine without raising BP.

People with a condition called primary aldosteronism have 6% more fluid outside their cells than others, but their sodium excretion doesn't affect this fluid level.
